I did manage to fix it. It appears the debian package was broken, because once I installed from tarball and ran the spd-conf command, and then: speech-dispatcher -C /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher it worked fine. I now have it running with speechd-up and I am fixing to make an initScript. With the debian package, it couldn't find my audio device and failed to initialize for some reason. i have no idea how to fix it, so I did apt-get purge speech-dispatcher and then started all over again from source. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cleverson Casarin Uliana" <clever92000@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 5:42 PM Subject: Re: speech-dispatcher problem > Hi, I'm also interested in this question.
