Start with a completely blank, fresh SDCard. Download NOOBS 1.5 (or the 2015-11-21 plain Raspbian). Boot that and see how it goes.

If that works you then need a USB SDCard reader to rescue your data & locally written programs from your knackered SDCard.

I was using text to speech festival, it was working good with small sentences but not with larger texts, there was a glitch, i found something on the forum and made the change ,i dont remember it ,the command was to download something and change start.elf file

Starting with a fresh sd card fixed the problem.
Also I am trying to pass the output of a .py file to a text file.I tried filename.py | text.txt and filename.py > text.txt but I am not able to do it with the limited knowledge i have now. I am afraid if i should have started a new post.

Use

Code: Select all

      output = open("textfile.txt","wb")
      output.write('static stuff you want to write goes here\r\n')
      output.write(variable.to.write)
      output.close()

in your python code.
