Hi Gregory, I got up to the editing of /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf and searched for espeak-ng and read some strange stuff. I wonder if spd-conf messed up the speechd.conf file. I'm attaching it for you to have a look, if you would be so kind, to see if it looks right. The lines I read in nano had .conf in all the synth names, and when I looked at it at the start of all this, because I was going to put voxin by hand, but I wasn't sure where to find the right spot, I exited without saving, but I recall that the synth lines did not have .conf after the names. The attachment probably won't go to the list, but it should come in your copy. Thanks.

If you can do this over an ssh connection, I think that would be better. You need to: a. apt purge espeakup b. apt install speechd-up speech-dispatcher-voxin 2. Instead of messing with spd-conf, I just edit /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf by hand to make changes. That way, I know exactly what is being configured. So: Find the line that says: DefaultModule espeak-ng and change it to say: DefaultModule voxin Save that file, and: killall speech-dispatcher To make sure speech-dispatcher actually restarts, I just reboot instead of killall.
