If you try to use spd-say with a different user, it will then fail, failing to access the /tmp/pico.wav file. A solution would be to create a temporary file per user ID: GenericExecuteSynth \ "USERID=`id -u` ; pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' && $PLAY_COMMAND $TMPDIR/pico-$USERID.wav" The command definition (GenericExecuteSynth) in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/pico-generic.conf use a fixed file name for the wave file ($TMPDIR/pico.wav): GenericExecuteSynth \ "pico2wave -w $TMPDIR/pico.wav -l $VOICE \'$DATA\' && $PLAY_COMMAND $TMPDIR/pico.wav If you use spd-say or a speech dispatcher enabled application with root, it will create the pico.wav file owned by root with restricted permissions.
