Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher Upgrade Broken on Arch

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello,

To be able to help we need that you answer following questions.
What distribution, version of this distribution are you using?
What version of speech-dispatcher are you using?
Which TTS are installed? espeak, espeak-ng, others?
Which exact command do you type to start speech-dispatcher?

As an aside, there is usually no need to start speech-dispatcher directly, as it is started by applications 
relying on it like Orca.

Best,
Didier
