Anyway, I believe that why you get no speech is because your version is not build with ALSA support and Speech Dispatcher has now switched its default settings to ALSA. You can either switch the settings for the modules that interest you in each of their settings file to OSS or NAS or you need to install ALSA including its developement packages. Further, look at speechd.conf (option DefaultModule) and set it to your prefered synthesizer. In case your problems persist, could you please send me the full log (since start of speech-dispatcher) with priority 5 (see /usr/local/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf, option LogLevel). Have a nice day, Hynek
