Hi again, Meanwhile I thought I could use speech-dispatcher with espeak.
It works as root but not as normal user. Even running $ espeak hello as normal user fails: the program keeps waiting (does not terminate) and nothing is spoken. There does not seem to be any obvious permission problem. Any idea? Thanks, Shérab. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
