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.
