I also needed a bit time until i got it working together. First problem was that speech-dispatcher doesn't start at boot because it want to create /var/run/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.pid wich doesn't work at boot-time. Don't know why, because it works after i booted up. So i start speech-dispatcher in a script just before i start navit and end it after i quit navit.
Then i tried text2speech with "espeak" and "spd-say" and spd-say works a bit better for me. First i tried in the console if text2speech was working. After successful tests i had to edit the speech line in navit.xml to [1]. Last problem was that navit doesn't speak german. But i just had to set the LANG variable before starting navit and adding the "-l de" parameter to spd-say. And now it works together without problems. Only the speech output sometimes stutter a bit because it needs quite much cpu.
