Larry, You were answered about this by Rob on the Vinux Mail List. QUOTE To make Voxin default in the console as well make ibmtts the default module in speechd.conf /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf change defaultmodule espeak to defaultmodule ibmtts cheers Rob UNQUOTE Did you do this? Right below this is a line: #LanguageDefaultModule "en" "espeak" It's commented out so it has no effect on the configuration now, but if you have bought the USA English module in addition to the UK English module, you might try changing it. I don't know if this is correct but try it: LanguageDefaultModule "en-us" "ibmtts" Best wishes, David Hart Larry wrote: Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 01:22:02PM -0700 > Well, we finally have Speakup running, Voxin is talking in graphical, but > e-speak is heard when in Speakup.
