So it was a problem with your distribution. I wonder if we should mention such 
issues on our web site (accessibility.kde.org)?

Well, the only conflict that I can think of is when two different applications 
simultaneously want to create speech. I suppose that the result of this is 
that the two sentences get spoken simultaneously. However, if both 
applications make use of kttsd, that should be taken care of.

- From what I heard Olaf did rewrite some speaker plug ins to use kttsd. (Can 
you please tell details on that, Olaf?)

- From the statement that your project needs TTS for browser,email, word 
processer etc. I read that you might be interested in a screen reader? On the 
Gnome platform there is such a project (Gnopernicus). That one uses the 
AT-SPI architecture for capturing the screen contents, so that it works 
together with all AT-SPI aware applications. Unfortunately AT-SPI support is 
yet missing under KDE. However, we are currently working on concepts of how 
to change this. We won't start coding on this until end of August, though.
