* What is Speech Dispatcher?
Speech Dispatcher is a device independent layer for speech
synthesis, developed with the goal of making the usage of speech
synthesis easier for application programmers. It takes care of most
of the tasks necessary to solve in speech enabled applications. What
is a very high level GUI library to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is
to speech synthesis.
Key Speech Dispatcher features are:
- Message priority model that allows multiple simultaneous
connections to Speech Dispatcher from one or more clients
and tries to provide the user with the most important messages.
- Different output modules that talk to different synthesizers so
that the programmer doesn't need to care which particular
synthesizer is being used. Currently Festival, Flite, Epos, Espeak
and (non-free) Dectalk software, IBM TTS, Pico and others are
supported. Festival is an advanced Free Software synthesizer
supporting various languages. Espeak is a very fast multi-lingual
Free Software synthesizer.
- Simple interface for programs written in C, C++ provided through a
shared library. Python, Common Lisp and Guile interfaces. An Elisp
and Java libraries are developed as sperate projects speechd-el
and speechd-java. Possibly an interface to any other language can
be developed.
* How to report bugs?

Happy synthesizing!
