 * Hello everybody.
 * I’m working on a web site using WordPress & have recently installed GSpeech plugin.
   The text-to-speech process works great while testing it at localhost (Windows
   7 Professional) enviroment, but won’t work while testing exactly the same web
   site set up at a Linux web server machine, as virtual host.
    I mark the text,
   then tooltip, speaker & gspeech link are all shown up, but after clicking the
   speaker to listen the marked text, speaker starts rolling (keeps rolling unless
   I click again) & I listen no sound.
 * Any help or advice would be grateful.
    Many Thanks.

 * Problem solved: I contacted Linux server admin, we took a look at apache log &
   we found a PHP fatal error referring to curl_init function call.
 * The steps that solve the error were installing php5-curl & then modifying php.
   ini, adding dynamic extension curl.so.
