Talk:KTTS

In kde-4.4, kttsd does not work. When I open system settings, it shows only 3 tabs and the line that says that kttsd is not running.

I tick the box to start it, but the apply button never alights to accept the change. I run it from the command line instead, but nothing happens.

I have also run kttsmngr and it docks into the system tray, but since kttsd is not running/never runs, it cannot do anything, which can be seen when one clicks configure here.

When I open system settings and try to select a talker, none are shown, although I have festival and a number of voices installed. Both festival and espeak work fine from the command line, but in kdeaccessibility, nothing works.

I should say that a number of other users have also reported this problem and the identical symptoms. We are all using fedora kde-4.4.
