Please use one of the commands I suggested. pkill -f speech If you want to see which process will be killed by that command, try ps -ef | grep speech I assume you are using a debian system, of course. Both commands are standard unix commands. If you are using windows, I can't be of help, as I dont' use it myself. Loredana

Before rebooting ... If you go the kill way from the command line: pkill -f speech This kills all user processess whose name starts with "speech". If you are root: systemctl restart speech-dispatcher If you are in the sudoers list: sudo systemctl restart speech-dispatcher Usually applications starts speech-dispatcher as needed, so killing it at the user level (pkill) should be enough.

sound card ordering
Hello, Debian bullseye upgraded from buster amd64. Pulseaudio removed and purged. There are two sound cards in the system but only one was detected when I installed buster. When the system starts, the card ordering is not reliable so on occasions the non working asus card is card 0 hence producing no speech output. I think it may be down to the order of module loading as creating /;etc/asound.conf does not appear to work. Is this known and how can I force the onboard card to be always card 0? Thanks Keith

However you can configure speech-dispatcher to use Espeak's female variant by default. You can configure this in your local speech-dispatcher configuration. I am assuming that you have no local configuration yet. Type the following in a terminal cd mkdir -p .config/speech-dispatcher cp /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf .config/speech-dispatcher/ gedit .config/speech-dispatcher/spd.conf If you are using Mate, replace gedit with pluma. Then search for the line that looks like this: # DefaultVoiceType "MALE1" And change it to DefaultVoiceType "FEMALE1" I don't know what the official way of restarting speech-dispatcher is, killing it might be an option. Otherwise you can always reboot ;-). Change the above line back to the previous version to revert your voice change. HTH Sebastian signature.asc Description: PGP signature
