Re: Strange behavior with Dec Express and Orca

[Willem van der Walt <wvdwalt csir co za>]

Another approach might be to write a module in speech-dispatcher which 
works with an hw synth like the dectalk.  One would have to make sure that 
this code flushes the buffer of the synth correctly, but would screen the 
top application like orca from having to do synthesizer specific things.
