NAME

       test-speech - a test application provided by gnome-speech

DESCRIPTION

       test-speech  is a simple test application provided by gnome-speech. It is used to verify the driver for a speech engine, e.g., freetts-syn-
       thesis-driver, is funcioning properly, in order to make sure users can activate and interact with the gnome-speech driver successfully.

       GNOME Speech aims to be a general interface to various text-to-speech engines for the GNOME desktop. It allows the simple speaking of text,
       as well as control over various speech parameters such as speech pitch, rate, and volume.

NAME

       speech-dispatcher - server process managing speech requests in Speech Dispatcher

SYNOPSIS

       speech-dispatcher [-{d|s}] [-l {1|2|3|4|5}] [-c com_method] [-S socket_path] [-p port] | [-v] | [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       speech-dispatcher  is  a server process that is responsible for transforming requests for text-to-speech output into actual speech hearable
       in the speakers. It arbitrates concurrent speech requests based on message priorities, and abstracts different speech synthesizers.  Client
       programs, like screen readers or navigation software, send speech requests to speech-dispatcher using TCP protocol (with the help of client
       libraries).  speech-dispatcher is usually started automatically by client libraries (i.e. autospawn), so you only need to run  it  manually
       if testing/debugging, or when in other explicit need for a special setup.
