Well, AIUI this has been broken for a long time without being reported.
And thus AIUI people just configure speech-dispatcher with the config

not a user of speech-dispatcher, so users should say so if it's really a
problem.


Personally, I wasn't aware of this tool before this bug report. I don't 
know people anyone who uses this software.
The regular blind person uses Orca to change speech-dispatcher 
configuration.
IMO, it's not a critical issue but we should forward it to the upstream 
developer if it's not already the case.


Best regards.

Well, AIUI this has been broken for a long time without being reported.
And thus AIUI people just configure speech-dispatcher with the config
files and don't use spd-conf. Again, this is just my understanding, I'm
