When I open kiwix on my Debian(Linux) Desktop, kiwix triggers a speech annoying process on my VTerms (virtual-terminals - which i access with C-Alt(F1-F6) keyboard keys....
I thought that is was a speech-dispatch issue, but I've purged it and the problem remains...

/tmp $ fg
kiwix-desktop
Connection to speech-dispatcher failed
Connection to speech-dispatcher failed
js: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'dataset' of null
js: Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

The problem is related to qtwebengine that after lauch kiwix-desktop, also triggers all these procecess

PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND

The problem is caused by:
QtWebEngineProcess --type=renderer --disable-speech-ap
But, it does not effectively disables the speech-api

And it speaks like a crazy robot when I access my VConsoles...
How do I stop Kiwix of interfering in my VTconsoles for not launcing this hellish robot aloud speaking all the time?
Thx
