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.
