Hi, After living with an old speakup 2.x install for an age I finally got around to building an up-to-date Ubuntu install. I've got Orca working with gnome-speech but also want speakup for terminal access. Since I want to use either Dectalk or Cepstral voices I've configured speech-dispatcher/speechd-up and can get it to work fine with espeak. But when I try to use the dtk-generic module I get no speech via spd-say. At first it appeared to be an Alsa/OSS thing as I think speech-dispatcher was locking /dev/dsp and the Dectalk libraries seem to want to talk to it directly via OSS. So I switched speech-dispatcher to use OSS and the conflict is gone in that while speech-dispatcher is configured with espeak I can successfully use the Dectalk command line say utility. But when I try and move to the dtk-generic module I get nothing. Plainly there's some incantation I'm missing here -- does anyone know it? I'll move onto Cepstral Swift after hopefully resolving this -- currently just loading the Swift module kills speech-dispatcher... Thanks, Garry -- Garry Turkington garry.turkington at gmail.com
