[Kde-accessibility] kttsd - speech dispatcher problems

[achiestdragon]

hi all

been trying to get kttsd to work 

firstly i must say that speach dispatcher is a real pain to configure and install 

using suse repositories  current for suse11.3 

install problems so far  include 

speach dispatcher fails to actualy install things in the correct place
manualy copping the config files to the right place was the only way i managed to get it working in the end
leaving only a problem with its port allocation not beeing right that i still need to solve 
but no clues on how to do that in the documentation 

secondly kttsd itself  fails to recognise that there is any installed voices on the system 

on using the configure talkers tab in kttsd-mgr  to add a talker  just gives a strange message in both the  language and synth section reading 

"the name org.kde.kttsd was not provided by any .service files" 

there now appears to be no  kttsd section  under  /.kde/apps   or /.kde4/apps  where the configuration may be checked /edited 

although i apreciate that is only a intrim mesure and the swich to speech dispatcher is still only beta  it seems that theres little documentation on the web to help understanding the setup of speech dispatcher 

im not shoure of the version of kttsd (current suse11.3 version) as there is nolonger a information tab to display that 
also the version of speech dispatcher that suse installs is version 1.6  although theres a version 1.7 available i have been unable to get it to compile as yet 

any help here or pointers would be appriciated

yours 
David
