I found that I had to put a 15 second delay in the proper init
file (I think is was /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher) in order to get the voxin
speech engine to work with speech-dispatcher in Ubuntu 9.04. Otherwise I
was seeing the same problem that you describe. --Pete From:

Of Jennifer 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 Jen!
