And how do I get the guy to speak German? :) Apparently, your default shell is dash, rather than bash. Two statements of talkwith weren't completely portable. I.E., they used syntax specific to bash. This was fixed a while ago in the git repository, but that won't help you. There's a workaround. Call talkwith like so: bash talkwith espeakup --default-voice=de HTH, -- Chris
