The log says it can't load the output module, Hello, I assume you're still using ArchLinux. Turns out that the speech-dispatcher package in [extra] is broken. Well, not completely. The problem is that it doesn't depend on pulseaudio, even though the default configuration sets the audio output method to pulse. A quick fix is to edit ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf. Find the line containing AudioOutputMethod, and change pulse to alsa. I'll file a bug on the ArchLinux bug tracker later. -- Chris
