</div></div>Hi Bob,<br>
<br>
what does your speech-dispacher logfile say? This should be in your home<br>
directory ~/.speech-dispatcher/log/ .<br>
I have problems too with festival and I read in the log.<br>
[Fri Dec 21 18:16:05 2012 : 323218] speechd: Initializing output<br>

<br>
The festival.log is clean(empty). The festival service seems to run here:<br>
<br>
/etc/init.d/festival status<br>
redirecting to systemctl<br>
festival.service - LSB: festival daemon providing full text-to-speech system<br>
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/festival)<br>

Process: 20043 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/festival start<br>
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)<br>
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/festival.service<br>
└ 20053 /usr/bin/festival --libdir / --uid festival<br>
--chroot /usr/share/festival/ --server<br>
<br>
espeak works fine for me in German. I use orca instead of jovie. But<br>
this should not matter. The speech-dispacher problem with festival<br>
should be the same.<br>
<br>
Im only a user of speech output, not a developer.<br>
<br>
Greetings,<br>
Günter<br>
