+# -- CACHING --
+
+# Festival output module supports a caching mechanism for
+# repeated events like characters, keys and sound icons
+# that saves the wavefiles retrieved from the synthesizer
+# and uses them next time an identical request is issued.
+# This way, the synthesis is much more responsive when
+# you type in keys, you spell some word by going over it
+# with cursor keys, sound icons are faster and so on.
+# If you wish to enable this caching mechanism, turn
+# FestivalCacheOn to 1, or switch it off by 0.
+
+# FestivalCacheOn 1
+
+# How large should the memmory assigned to output module for
+# cache should be. Festival will never overcome this limit.
+# If there are more messages to save, the ones that are least
+# accessed will be removed from the cache. So if you set this
+# parameter too low, the module will often have to synthesize
+# your request (which takes time) instead of just retrieving
+# it from the cache, but you will save system resources. If you
+# set it higher, it might make the module more responsive.
+# The value is given in kilobytes, default is 10 megabytes.
+
+# FestivalCacheMaxKBytes 10240
+
+# Normally, the cache pool is common for all voices, rates and
+# pitches. This means that when for example the key 'r' gets cached,
+# you change the voice and request the key 'r' again, it will be
+# retrieved from the cache and you will hear the old 'r' instead of a
+# new one. By default, it only switches between languages.  In most
+# cases, this isn't a problem for characters, keys and sound icons and
+# it saves system resources. But if you want to keep separate caches
+# for different voices (and even rates and pitches), please set the
+# corresponding parameters to 1. (0 means don't distinguish).

+# trafic. Currently, the option is set to 0 by default, because there

+# Global configuration for Speech Dispatcher
+# ==========================================
+
+# -----SYSTEM OPTIONS-----
+
+# CommunicationMethod specifies the method to be used by Speech Dispatcher to communicate with
+# its clients. Two basic methods are "unix_socket" and "inet_socket".
+#
+# unix_socket -- communication over Unix sockets represented by a file in the
+# filesystem (see SocketPath below). This method works only locally, but is
+# prefered for standard session setup, where every user runs his own instance of Speech
+# Dispatcher to get voice feedback on his own computer.
+#
+# inet_socket -- alternatively, you can start Speech Dispatcher on
+# a TCP port and connect to it via hostname/port. This allows for a more
+# flexible setup, where you can use Speech Dispatcher over network
+# from different machines. See also the Port and LocalhostAccessOnly
+# configuration variables.
+#
+# CommunicationMethod "unix_socket"
+
+# SocketPath is either "default" or a full path to the filesystem
+# where the driving Unix socket file should be created in case the
+# CommunicationMethod is set to "unix_socket". The default is
+# $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock where $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
+# is the directory specified by the XDG Base Directory Specification.
+# Do not change this unless you have a reason and know what you are doing.
+
+# SocketPath "default"
+
+# The Port on which Speech Dispatcher should be available to clients if the "inet_socket"
+# communication method is used.
+
+# Port 6560
+
+# By default, if "inet_socket" communication method is used, the specified port is opened only
+# for connections coming from localhost. If LocalhostAccessOnly is set to 0 it disables this
+# access controll. It means that the port will be accessible from all computers on the
+# network. If you turn off this option, please make sure you set up some system rules on what
+# computers are and are not allowed to access the Speech Dispatcher port.
+
+# LocalhostAccessOnly 1
+
+# -----LOGGING CONFIGURATION-----
+
+# The LogLevel is a number between 0 and 5 specifying the
+# verbosity of information to the logfile  or screen
+# 0 means nothing, 5 means everything (not recommended).
+
+LogLevel  3
+
+# The LogDir specifies where the Speech Dispatcher logs reside
+# Specify "stdout" for standard console output
+# or a custom log directory path. 'default' means
+# the logs are written to the default destination (e.g. a preconfigured
+# system directory or the home directory if .speech-dispatcher is present)
+# DO NOT COMMENT OUT THIS OPTION, leave as "default" for standard logging
+
+LogDir  "default"
+#LogDir  "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/"
+#LogDir  "stdout"
+
+# The CustomLogFile allows logging all messages # regardless of
+# priority, to the given destination.
+#CustomLogFile "protocol" "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher-protocol.log"
+
+# ----- VOICE PARAMETERS -----
+
+# The DefaultRate controls how fast the synthesizer is going to speak.
+# The value must be between -100 (slowest) and +100 (fastest), default
+# is 0.
+
+# DefaultRate  0
+
+# The DefaultPitch controls the pitch of the synthesized voice.  The
+# value must be between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest), default is
+# 0.
+
+# DefaultPitch  0
+
+# The DefaultVolume controls the default volume of the voice.  It is
+# a value between -100 (softly) and +100 (loudly).  Currently, +100
+# maps to the default volume of the synthesizer.
+
+DefaultVolume 100
+
+# The DefaultVoiceType controls which voice type should be used by
+# default.  Voice types are symbolic names which map to particular
+# voices provided by the synthesizer according to the output module
+# configuration.  Please see the synthesizer-specific configuration
+# in etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/ to see which voices are assigned to
+# different symbolic names.  The following symbolic names are
+# currently supported: MALE1, MALE2, MALE3, FEMALE1, FEMALE2, FEMALE3,
+# CHILD_MALE, CHILD_FEMALE
+
+# DefaultVoiceType  "MALE1"
+
+# The Default language with which to speak
+
+# DefaultLanguage "en"
+
+
+# ----- MESSAGE DISPATCHING CONTROLL -----
+
+# The DefaultClientName specifies the name of a client who didn't
+# introduce himself at the beginning of an SSIP session.
+
+# DefaultClientName  "unknown:unknown:unknown"
+
+# The Default Priority. Use with caution, normally this shouldn't be
+# changed globally (at this place)
+
+# DefaultPriority  "text"
+
+# The DefaultPauseContext specifies by how many index marks a speech
+# cursor should return when resuming after a pause. This is roughly
+# equivalent to the number of sentences before the place of the
+# execution of pause that will be repeated.
+
+# DefaultPauseContext 0
+
+# -----SPELLING/PUNCTUATION/CAPITAL LETTERS  CONFIGURATION-----
+
+# The DefaultPunctuationMode sets the way dots, comas, exclamation
+# marks, question marks etc. are interpreted.  none: they are ignored
+# some: some of them are sent to synthesis (see
+# DefaultPunctuationSome) all: all punctuation marks are sent to
+# synthesis
+
+# DefaultPunctuationMode "none"
+
+# The DefaultCapLetRecognition: if set to "spell", capital letters
+# should be spelled (e.g. "capital b"), if set to "icon",
+# capital letters are indicated by inserting a special sound
+# before them but they should be read normally, it set to "none"
+# capital letters are not recognized (by default)
+
+# DefaultCapLetRecognition  "none"
+
+# The DefaultSpelling: if set to On, all messages will be spelt
+# unless set otherwise (this is usually not something you want to do.)
+
+# DefaultSpelling  Off
+
+# ----- AUDIO CONFIGURATION -----------
+
+# -- AUDIO OUTPUT --
+
+# Chooses between the possible sound output systems:
+#       "pulse" - PulseAudio
+#       "alsa"  - Advanced Linux Sound System
+#       "oss"   - Open Sound System
+#       "nas"   - Network Audio System
+#       "libao" - A cross platform audio library
+# Pulse audio is the default and recommended sound server. OSS and ALSA
+# are only provided for compatibility with architectures that do not
+# include Pulse Audio. NAS provides network transparency, but is not
+# very well tested. libao is a cross platform library with plugins for
+# different sound systems and provides alternative output for Pulse Audio
+# and ALSA as well as for other backends.
+
+# AudioOutputMethod "pulse"
+
+# -- Pulse Audio parameters --
+
+# Pulse audio server name or "default" for the default pulse server
+
+#AudioPulseServer "default"
+
+#AudioPulseMinLength 1764
+
+# -- ALSA parameters --
+
+# Audio device for ALSA output
+
+#AudioALSADevice "default"
+
+# -- OSS parameters --
+
+# Audio device for OSS output
+
+#AudioOSSDevice "/dev/dsp"
+
+# -- NAS parameters --
+
+# Route to the Network Audio System server when NAS
+# is chosen for the audio output. Note that NAS
+# server doesn't need to run on your machine,
+# you can use it also over network (for instance
+# when working on remote machines).
+
+#AudioNASServer "tcp/localhost:5450"
+
+
+
+# -----OUTPUT MODULES CONFIGURATION-----
+
+# Each AddModule line loads an output module.
+#  Syntax: AddModule "name" "binary" "configuration" "logfile"
+#  - name is the name under which you can access this module
+#  - binary is the path to the binary executable of this module,
+#    either relative (to lib/speech-dispatcher-modules/) or absolute
+#  - configuration is the path to the config file of this module,
+#    either relative (to etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/) or absolute
+
+#AddModule "espeak"       "sd_espeak"   "espeak.conf"
+#AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
+#AddModule "flite"        "sd_flite"     "flite.conf"
+#AddModule "ivona"	 "sd_ivona"    "ivona.conf"
+#AddModule "pico"        "sd_pico"     "pico.conf"
+#AddModule "espeak-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-generic.conf"
+#AddModule "espeak-mbrola-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-mbrola-generic.conf"
+#AddModule "swift-generic" "sd_generic" "swift-generic.conf"

+#AddModule "dtk-generic"  "sd_generic"   "dtk-generic.conf"
+#AddModule "pico-generic"  "sd_generic"   "pico-generic.conf"
+#AddModule "ibmtts"       "sd_ibmtts"    "ibmtts.conf"
+#AddModule "cicero"        "sd_cicero"     "cicero.conf"
+
+# DO NOT REMOVE the following line unless you have
+# a specific reason -- this is the fallback output module
+# that is only used when no other modules are in use
+#AddModule "dummy"         "sd_dummy"      ""
+
+# The output module testing doesn't actually connect to anything. It
+# outputs the requested commands to standard output and reads
+# responses from stdandard input. This way, Speech Dispatcher's
+# communication with output modules can be tested easily.
+
+# AddModule "testing"
+
+# The DefaultModule selects which output module is the default.  You
+# must use one of the names of the modules loaded with AddModule.
+
+DefaultModule espeak
+
+# The LanguageDefaultModule selects which output modules are prefered
+# for specified languages.
+
+#LanguageDefaultModule "en"  "espeak"
+#LanguageDefaultModule "cs"  "festival"
+#LanguageDefaultModule "es"  "festival"
+
+# -----CLIENT SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION-----
+
+# Here you can include the files with client-specific configuration
+# for different types of clients. They must contain one or more sections with
+# this structure:
+#     BeginClient "emacs:*"
+#          DefaultPunctuationMode "some"
+#          ...and/or some other settings
+#     EndClient
+# The parameter of BeginClient tells Speech Dispatcher which clients
+# it should apply the settings to (it does glob-style matching, you can use
+# * to match any number of characters and ? to match one character)
+
+# There are some sample client settings
+
+Include "clients/*.conf"
+
+# The DisableAutoSpawn option will disable the autospawn mechanism.
+# Thus the server will not start automatically on requests from the clients
+# DisableAutoSpawn
