Michael,
The activity logs contain no clues. Really no message at all.
The Activity window is present but non-responsive. You can switch to
the main screen using F3 (the XO equivalent activity-switching key) but
you cannot shut down the application there. When you switch back to

similar log messages for each speech synthesis
request - either from spd-say or James' Read Etexts activity.

Erik and Michael,
I think there is some confusion in Hemant's last post. Actually,
speech-dispatcher seems to be working just fine on the XO. I had to
reboot the XO after installing the RPMs before it would work, but it
DOES work. Speech is produced, and callbacks are generated. Even the
A couple of weeks ago I announced here that I had text to speech working
in the Read Etexts activity. I had reason to believe at the time that
this was true. I am sorry to report that I was wrong.
What is happening is this: Read Etexts works just fine when running
under Sugar Emulation

Do the activity logs contain any clues?
Worse, it generally hangs the Activity so I need to reboot the XO to
quit the Activity.
Is the activity window still present but
The Read Etexts activity has been committed to Git and I have created a
page for it in the Wiki. I would be interested in any feedback on the
Activity itself, the Wiki page, or anything else. I want to do this
right. Second, I would like to thank everyone on this list that helped
me get

We already ship an activity called Read with the XO -- could we call
the repository for this one something like etexts to avoid confusion?

Now that I have seen your request, I am still as yet unable to process
it as you omitted your ssh public key from your application, listing

Your application as I have seen it follows:

To Whom It May Concern,
Two weeks ago I submitted a form requesting hosting for my Activity, a
simple Python app that will do everything the Read activity currently
does, but which will work on Gutenberg Etexts either in ascii format or
in Zip format where the Zip file contains a single ascii

I've looked at Hemant Goyal's pages on speech synthesis and it looks to
be a great deal easier than I expected. The karaoke highlighting looks
doable too. While my first priority will be getting my Activity to have

Edward,
I was not planning on anything so fancy. Basically, I was frustrated
that I had a device that would be wonderfully suited to reading
Gutenberg etexts and no suitable program to do it with. I have written
such an Activity and am putting the finishing touches on it. As I see
