It does. > Some tts programs have modules for speech dispatcher, and I think > they get installed with speech dispatcher. And then speech-dispatcher sees them. When the tts is a library, you just need to install the speech-dispatcher module for that (we don't necessarily want to pull the library when installing speech-dispatcher, that'd clutter the disk and the list of synths). When the tts is a separate program, then speech-dispatcher module config file will detect it. > So usually I have to create a > custom module based on the generic module. It's another way of connecting to external synths. It's not the recommended way since that gives way less control to speech-dispatcher over the synthesis. Samuel
