Speech dispatcher, speechd-up and DECtalk.

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

Hynek,

Also, if speechdispatcher is run in a bootup script with the explicit
path specified to it, there may still be a path problem. The
dtk-generic file invokes "say" without a path specification, so once
again a potential path problem arises. Two solutions occur to me:

1. modify dtk-generic to include the path to "say" at the invocation
point; or

2. in the top level script which invokes speechdispatcher, include
something like this

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
so that wherever speechdispatcher might have been installed, it will
know how to find "say" even if it appears by name only.
