I've changed three different speechd.conf's to use
ibmtts and not espeak, and I still hear both ibmtts and espeak at the login
screen. Ibmtts is the synthesizer used to read the last few lines of the boot
sequence before the login screen pops up, and it gets used after I log
in. Espeak is the synthesizer that speaks the items on the login screen.
Also, I noticed that all copies of this file appear to be the same and that
almost all the contents are commented out. Also, having recently had issues with
speech dispatcher suddenly not working, I deleted the .speech-dispatcher
directory in my home directory, which restored speech functionality in orca. The
directory was also restored, but without speechd.conf. So, having said all that,
my question is how many of those speech-dispatcher directories, or, in
particular, the speechd-conf's, need to exist, and where? What do I need to
change in order to have ibmtts used everywhere and not espeak? Not a big issue,
but understanding what needs to be there might help me not break anything if I
try to build it from source.
