Trying out Speech Dispatcher.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-722-7209]

Hi all,

      I finally got around to taking a look at Speech Dispatcher.  I ran 
into two problems so far.  Using either ibmtts or espeak, SD would often 
split words while reading.  Configuration would sometimes come out as con 
figuration, and so on.  Worse yet, it appears that SD doesn't support 
pitch changes for uppercase letters.  When I was finished playing with the 
new configuration, I switched back to Marc Mulcahy's spk-connect-viavoice. 
To my surprise and lack of amusement, I no longer had a pitch change on 
caps.  I tried everything I could think of, even resetting 
/proc/speakup/synnth_name from sftsyn to none and back again.  Nothing 
helped short of a reboot.

      Any ideas?
