Hello everyone. I have been experimenting with
Linux for about 6 months on and off but am still quite a noob. I wanted to make
orca more responsive and snappy, as I am using it on my net book and it is very
slow and laggy, particularly on the
internet.
I have installed speech-dispatcher and the python
interface speech-d. I have checked that they are installed and that they are the
correct versions. I can not start speech-dispatcher as a user or as a system
service, note that I have disabled pulse audio and am using alsa. I get the
following output:
client: speech dispatcher failed to open:
connection refused
I have tried the command spd-say "hello" (with and
without the quotes and I get the same error as above.
Also when I tried the command
speech-dispatcher -d I got a message about not being able to create a pid file
in the home directory due to the wrong permissions. Should I use sudo
speech-dispatcher -d or something like that?
Any help or suggestions to links would be very much
appreciated. I did find some resources on the net relating to this issue but
they seemed a little confusing.
Thanks
