Description Harald Sitter 2009-06-15 23:36:53 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This bug was reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeaccessibility/+bug/380148

In KDE 3, command for proprietary speechsynthesizer app:
 "echo %t | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 -> /tmp/mikropuhe"
 works just fine, although in 9.04 installation same command does nothing.
When i enter "echo test > /tmp/mikropuhe" in terminal, it works. Also command in kmouth preferences speaks "test" if i use same command there.
So seems to me, that variable "%t" isn't working on kde4 build of kmouth.

If trying to echo to a file it doesn't echo any text either.
