Greetings, I am trying to use the emacs client for speech-dispatehcer, but I get an error:
ssip-connection-error: (file-error make client process failed no such file or directory :name speechd :family local :remote /home/user/.speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock) Indeed, the .speech-dispatcher directory does not exist. I am visually impaired and experimenting with a live jessie version of debian on top of which I have installed emacs and speechd-el. Speech-dispatcher itself seems to work properly (spd-say speaks and I am able to change the configuration from the command line with spd-conf) so I guess the problem may be some environmental variable or compiled variable value that does not match the expectations. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have been using debian since debian potato and emacs since longer. I may be able to compile from source but it may be difficult now that my vision is so poor to experiment a lot. However, I am definitely motivated to do my best to solve the problem, just let me know how I can help myself and others. Thanks in advance Loredana Lo Conte
