¡Hola a BoBsicle!

What version of speech dispatcher do you have?

I still have the issue in Debian Jessie + GNOME.

We (I) decided not to support versions of speech dispatcher that are older than 0.8.4.

They inadvertently broke the ABI, and it is not easy to support. Most recent distro releases like Ubuntu and Fedora already ship it. Debian being conservative on updates is slow to pick it up I guess?

[Eitan Isaacson [:eeejay]]

To clarify, Narrate was already broken on earlier versions anyway.

On Debian + KDE the issue is reproducible too.
On Debian + LXDE the issue is reproducible too.
On Ubuntu + GNOME3 the issue is reproducible too.

Hello everyone!

Looks like the issue is with Debian stable, speech-dispatcher will be updated to 0.8.4-2 in Debian 9 [Stretch] -> https://packages.debian.org/stretch/speech-dispatcher

Closing this as wontfix. Updated your speech-dispatcher!
