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 trans‐
       forming requests for text-to-speech output into actual speech  hearable
       in the speakers. It arbitrates concurrent speech requests based on mes‐
       sage 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	 manu‐
       ally if testing/debugging, or when in other explicit need for a special
       setup.
