Is there anything useful in the logs under /var/log/speech-dispatcher?

I haven't used festival for some time, but you may need to install
festival-freebsoft utils.  Alternatively, use espeak which is generally much
more responsive than festival.

Subject: a quick question


Hello list,
I've finally got everything up and running again, and have been doing some
playing around. I'd like to get software speech going, so I can continue my
origenal idea of compiling a kernel. I started reading docks, and got as far
as speech-dispatcher I've installed it, and spd-say "Hello" just hangs. as
well as using hello without the quotes. I've rebooted the service via init.d
./speech-dispatcher restart, and also changed the synths from flite to
festival, and back again to make sure that it wasn't just the synth.
Festival works perfect--I'm just having trouble communicating with the synth
via spd-say. Any ideas why its hanging? The docs on getting software speech
working with speakup was rather vague. I've also got an issue with ssh, that
I thought may be able to be fixed here. When I'm compiling, reading
nampages, etc I see a lot of euros a-circumflex marks all over. Is there
something wrong with my terminal? Not sure why it's showing that. Thanks for
the help in advance, Thanks, ~~TheCreator~~ Visit TDS for quality software
