Hi Jean-Claude,
Have you installed speech dispatcher?
Sudo apt install speech-dispatcher -y
Should do what you want.
Once you do that, check its configuration files. You will have to use alsa or
libao if you want to get rid of pulse for output methods.

Hi Pranav (Namascar),
Attempting to issue that command from the console yielded "command not found".
Actually, issuing spd-say got me the same result. I must be missing some
package(s)?
Now I'm in the same condition some folks have previously described on this
list. Speakup is stupidly slow & it speaks with a cat stuck in its throat😊
Sending something to ESpeak works normally.
It's incredible how hit & miss & convoluted this Speakup installation thing
is... & I thought Speakup was the wholly Grail😊
Anyways, please tell me what you'd do to rectify this?
Thanks much,
Cheers,
Jean-Claude Provost

Hi,
For only console access, ripping out pulse audio should not be a problem. A
better solution would be to use the spd-conf tool and to create your own
speech-dispatcher configuration. You can tell it what audio output to use.

Subject: [raspberry-vi] PulseAudio
Hi all,
In a message on the Speakup list, I red "Dump pulseaudio, and setup
speech-dispatcher to output using libao" as a means to resolve Speakup issues.
Assuming I'd be using Raspios-Buster lite, & assuming I only intend to use this
pi in console mode, am I going to loose any functionalities if I get rid of
PulseAudio?, especially given the fact that I want to play audio files as part
of an hourly clock application?
Also, if I could go with that option, how would I adapt Speakup &
SpeechDispatcher to do that?
Cheers,
Jean-Claude Provost
