Package: speechd-el
Version: 2.5-6
Severity: wishlist

In you don't have the speech-dispatcher program installed then

    emacs24 -q
    M-x speechd-speak-mode
    C-x C-c         # to exit emacs
    =>
    error
    "Searching for program: no such file or directory, speech-dispatcher"

where I hoped that the absence of the program would not prevent exiting
emacs.

In some combination of modes which alas I don't seem to easily
reproduce, I had seemed to get it even worsely wedged to the point where
M-x was an error too and so couldn't even enter commands to turn off the
mode.

Perhaps the absence of the necessary program could beep or message but
not be an error.  The initial speechd-speak-mode might check for the
necessary program and refuse to turn on the mode if it won't work.  But
ideally you'd like a later disappearance of the program to be handled
gracefully too.
