@ If the tests did what was expected, your installation of Speech Dispatcher
@ probably works fine. If not, there can be different causes, see
@ the documentation -- Troubleshooting. (Note that some synthesizers
@ don't have to support setting of the voice parameters. If everything
@ else worked correctly, this is not a fatal problem.).
