Michael, I have made some progress. I got speech-dispatcher running on my lenny system port 6560 espeak and alsa.
I grabbed the source package for yasr 0.6.8 from ubuntu intrepid and manually compiled the source ( i had to make a couple of small changes to yasr.h which I can pass along). I tested speech-dispatcher by starting it as a daemon, and running: $ spd-say "hello" it spoke just fine. I configured yasr to use speech dispatcher as the synthesizer and port 127.0.0.1:6560 as the port. I next tried starting yasr by typing: $ yasr I get no errors, but yasr doesn't speak. is there some way I can tell what is going wrong? If I do: $ ps -ef | grep -i 'yasr', I see yasr running on the same tty as my main login. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Gorse [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 3:27 PM > To: Don Raikes > Subject: Re: yasr debian and eflite > > > "synthesizer" should be set to "emacspeak server", and > "synthesizer port" > should be set to something like > |/usr/local/bin/eflite > > I am currently using eflite with it, but it isn't very stable (it is > calling alsa functions which apparently are not thread-safe), > and I'm not > really sure what should be done about it. > > On Tue, 14 Apr 2009, Don Raikes wrote: > > > Hi again Michael, > > > > Do you have any instructions on how to setup yasr to work > with eflite?
