Re: [Grml] still having problems with software speech on Grml

I am still having problems with Speakup on Grml. I did the following: "echo sftsyn > /proc/speakup/synthname" and then I did: "speechd-up" this did not start the synth talking. I have 128Mb of memory on the Toshiba laptop with a 512Mb swap partition. Any ideas as to why this won't work? Is it a memory issue?

No, you just forgot to start speech-dispatcher. So try to run:

/etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher start echo sftsyn >/proc/speakup/synth_name /usr/bin/speechd-up
