List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 03 Mar 2007 18:24:59 -0000 Hello all About a year ago, I started using Oralux Linux. Recently, I decided to install Gentoo Linux, mainly to learn more how the system works. Besides it, I still use MS-Windows for some tasks. I've just finished installing Gentoo, and currently I'm having a problem to get Speakup to speak via speech-dispatcher using ESpeak speech synthesiser. I had to install ESpeak, Speech-dispatcher and Speechd-up from source, as they are not available from the stable branch of Gentoo's repository. Now, I can use eSpeak as a standalone synthesiser, but speech-dispatcher doesn't speak anything through eSpeak. For example, when I run the command: espeak -vpt "teste." it speaks fine. Then I run: speech-dispatcher and it starts fine. I am sure that speech-dispatcher doesn't report errors, because I've set log level to 4 and observed that it launches espeak-generic OK. But when I run for test: spd-say "test." it doesn't report errors, but doesn't speak anything at all. I am sure that my sound card is working correctly, because eSpeak speaks well when runing as standalone, as I already said. But neither "spd-say" from speech-dispatcher speaks anything, nor speechd-up does it... Do you have any tip that could help me please? Thanks, Cleverson "Be realistic; ask for the impossible." _______________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - Sempre a melhor opção para você!
