* speechd-up not working on text console @ Okash Khawaja ` John Covici 0 siblings, 1 reply; 20+ messages in thread From: Okash Khawaja @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi, I am trying to set up speechd-up but I can't get it to emit any sound when running from text console. It works when running from GUI (kde plasma). To test I am running: speechd-up --probe. When compiling speechd-up with `make all`, I got texi errors. So I just did `make speechd-up`. Here's my setup: festival + speechd + speechd-up + speakup_soft. I am running it on arch linux. Any help will be great. If there's some other mailing list such queries should be posted to, then please suggest. Thanks, Okash ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

I am not sure it will work with festival, I did get it to work with espeak -- it may need an actual driver rather than the generic modules. It was a while ago, but I did not get any errors during the make, maybe I have some of those text tools.

Hi John, Thanks. I'll run it with espeak. The source I am using is https://github.com/williamh/speechd-up which shows last update in Jan 2011. I might have to downgrade the text tools to version compatible with speechd-up. I would prefer to bypass texi stuff and still get relevant modules compiled, if possible. Here's the error: ./fdl.texi:404: raising the section level of @appendixsubsec which is too low Thanks, Okash On Sat, Aug 12, 2017 at 6:25 PM, John Covici <covici@ccs.covici.com> wrote: > I am not sure it will work with festival, I did get it to work with > espeak -- it may need an actual driver rather than the generic > modules. > It was a while ago, but I did not get any errors during the make, > maybe I have some of those text tools. > > On Sat, 12 Aug 2017 10:32:31 -0400, > Okash Khawaja wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I am trying to set up speechd-up but I can't get it to emit any sound >> when running from text console.

Okay after chrys's post, I tried to run speechd-up without root which now works with pulse. Here's what I did: 1. either configure speechd-up to use locations other than /var/run/ and /var/log/ for pidfile and logfile, or fix permissions some other way 2. create group 'speakup' and add logged in user to that group 3. add following lines to /etc/udev/rules.d/50-local.rules: KERNEL=="synth",GROUP="speakup" KERNEL=="softsynth",GROUP="speakup" Thanks, Okash On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 7:48 AM, Okash Khawaja <okash.khawaja@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Chrys, > > Yes running it as root.
