Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher in Ubuntu 8:10

["Aruni Sharma" <libranarsh gmail com>]

Hi, try the spd-conf command and set up your speech-dispatcher.
Another change you need to make is in the
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf for using pulse instead of alsa
because intrepid is using pulse by default. unless you make this
change you will not be able to run speech-dispatcher. I have not been
able to remove pulse altogether. on the other hand if you want to use
only alsa install alsa-oss etc but beware if speech-dispatcher
automatically with alsa it will disable the use of gnome-speech i.e.
you will not have any output from orca unless you start using
speech-dispatcher. in other words it is at present a case of 'either
gnome-speech or speech-dispatcher'.
Thanks,
Aruni.
