Bug Description
Binary package hint: opendict
OpenDict should use Common interface to speech synthesizers - speech-dispatcher instead of festival as default TTS, because speech-dispatcher is included in default Ubuntu/Kubuntu CD and, also, festival is moved to universe since Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy).
I've noticed, that it's very easy to make speech-dispatcher as default TTS - we need just change one line in /usr/share/
Users always will be able to change PRON_COMMAND to any other TTS command through OpenDict preferences GUI, so, this is safe change.
Also it would be nice if in OpenDict package's "Suggests" field would be: espeak | festival
