I'm thinking though that my problem consists of more than festival, but not sure how to track it down. When I run spd_say "hello world", I get an error that says "speech dispatcher failed to start: Connection refused". It doesn't matter what module I have listed as "DefaultModule" in speech-dispatcher.conf. Any suggestions? Also, where do I put that set server_access_list command? Thanks in advance for the help.
