But in Konsole speech-dispatcher and festival works fine together.

1) Festival is not started as a server :

$ spd-conf --test-festival

Speech Dispatcher configuration tool

Testing whether Festival works as a server
ERROR: It was not possible to connect to Festival on the
given host and port. Connection failed with error 111 : Connection refused .
Hint: Most likely, your Festival server is not running now
or not at the default port 1314.

Try /etc/init.d/festival start or run 'festival --server' from the command 
line.
Festival server is not working.

2) Now we can hear the text from a test file:

$ festival --language russian --tts fest2.txt

(Files festival.log and speech-dispatcher.log left untouched.)

3) From the command line:

$ festival --server

$ spd-conf --test-festival

Speech Dispatcher configuration tool

Testing whether Festival works as a server
Festival contains freebsoft-utils.
Festival server seems to work correctly

(Files festival.log and speech-dispatcher.log left untouched.)

And _now_ launch jovie and go to the empty Talkers screen. (I do not attach 
screenshots because of localized system.) Click the Add button: there are no 
any festival languages there! Only espeak ones :-(
Close jovie and cancel festival.

(Files festival.log and speech-dispatcher.log left untouched.)

There is bug 281076 at the KDE Bugzilla database with name
"KDE Text to Speech crashed while editing talkers."
Is it makes sense to start a bug with name
"KDE Text to Speech crashed while adding talkers?"
