speech-dispatcher (0.8-2) experimental; urgency=low
|
|
|
|
* Since speech-dispatcher 0.8 the user configuration is not searched
|
|
and stored in ~/.speech-dispatcher/ but in ~/.config/speech-dispatcher.
|
|
Unfortunately, upstream speech-dispatcher did not implement backward
|
|
compatibility, and due to the complexity of doing that, neither did we.
|
|
If you already have a working user configuration, we suggest to manually
|
|
fix this by either moving the configuration files, making appropriate
|
|
symlinks or running spd-conf to generate a fresh configuration.
|
|
|
|
* During installation, you probably have speech-dispatcher already running.
|
|
As I am unsure if it is wise to kill all running speech-dispatcher
|
|
instancance during installation, I leave that up to the user for now.
|
|
So you should restart your speech-dispatcher instance to make sure it
|
|
uses the latest installed version. E.g. by running:
|
|
$ killall speech-dispatcher
|
|
and letting it automatically be restarted if you have the default of
|
|
autospawning on. I can come up with scenarios where reverse dependencies
|
|
of speech-dispatcher might not work until you do.

|
* Using Speech Dispatcher with Festival
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to run Speech Dispatcher with Festival, since Festival is the
|
|
speech synthesizer providing most functionality together with Speech
|
|
Dispatcher. If you want to use Speech Dispatcher with Festival, please install
|
|
the speech-dispatcher-festival package and read its README.Debian.
|
|
|
|
* Using Speech Dispatcher with ALSA or OSS
|
|
|
|
When Speech Dispatcher is used with direct sound output to ALSA or OSS (on the
|
|
contrary to using a sound server, e.g. PulseAudio) and your audio device is not
|
|
set up to allow concurrent access, Speech Dispatcher may block all your audio
|
|
output. For this reason the default Speech Dispatcher configuration comes with
|
|
PulseAudio as the only audio output. If you don't want to use PulseAudio for
|
|
Speech Dispatcher audio output, change AudioOutputMethod option in your Speech
|
|
Dispatcher configuration (either /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf or
|
|
~/.config/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf) accordingly and restart your Speech
|
|
Dispatcher processes.
|
|
|
|
* System wide startup (not recommended anymore)
|
|
|
|
If you want to run Speech Dispatcher as a system wide process, set RUN option
|
|
in /etc/default/speech-dispatcher to `yes', and set the SPEECHD_SOCKET environment
|
|
variable to /run/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock before starting clients.
|
|
|
|
* Log file permissions
|
|
|
|
Please note all Speech Dispatcher log files can reveal your user interactions
|
|
and texts you read through Speech Dispatcher, among others. For this reason,
|
|
the /var/log/speech-dispatcher/ directory is world-unreadable by default.
