What's the exact message you get from spd-say?

Is the port in the configuration of Speech Dispatcher set to 
the default 6560 (/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf)?


Can you connect to that port with telnet?
	telnet localhost 6560

If not, are you sure Speech Dispatcher is running? You might try to execute
it with the -s flag on the console:
	speech-dispatcher -s
to see if it doesn't complain about something.

Please let me know.
