Hello, I have a problem with a container that does speech synthesis (text to speech)
When I launch my application, I have an error with the speech dispatcher
Connection to speech-dispatcher failed
I tried to install the package
apt install speech-dispatcher
but it’s the same. When I start the daemon
root@613e09423058:/app# speech-dispatcher
[Tue Sep 19 08:08:58 2023: 945319] speechd: Speech Dispatcher 0.10.2 starting
and I restart my app I have the same error
Connection to speech-dispatcher failed
After some research it’s not a problem with the application, but rather with the speechd daemon
root@d75572a5f3d1:/# spd-say 'hello'
Failed to connect to Speech Dispatcher:
Error: Can't connect to unix socket /root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock: No such file or directory. Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher refused to start with error code, stating this as a reason:
Here the different logs:

I also tried to use this image:
https://hub.docker.com/r/mavlink/qgc-build-linux/dockerfile/
but I got the same error
Have any ideas ?
