If you start the Terminal activity and type 'espeak Hello' does it speak correctly? Any errors? It used to work well, and in latest builds works ok (with some error logs), but for a while espeak wasn't able to talk to the sound device correctly. Some of the other activities came up with what seems somewhat clunky workaround solution directing espeak output to disk and then using aplay to feed the individual  wav files back over to the audio device (not something I like very much).

Regards,
--Gary
