Re: [orca-list] Potential conflict between Orca and emacspeak with hardware synth



Hi,

I also get the same behavior as Mike. My DecTalk Express receives a reset string for it, followed by a reset string for the DecTalk MultiVoice. When this occurs, I have gnome-speech as the speech server and eSpeak as the synthesizer. Emacspeak is not running at the time. So, could it be that, since the emacspeak speech server is one of my available speech servers, although not currently in use, that Orca is in some way having the emacspeak server test its available resources when the Orca Preferences dialog is launched? Could this also be happening when moving from a non-AT-SPI application back to those where Orca is functional? Just thoughts...

No hardware devices are supported by gnome-speech right now, so the suspects might be the emacspeak driver and/or speech dispatcher.

For what it's worth, _something_ does probe the serial port when the user enters the preferences dialog. I have a Speak-out connected to the serial port on my desktop, and it starts reading out commands intended for a DEC-talk. So presumably it is gnome-speech that is doing this.

Hi David:

Orca doesn't probe the serial ports at all.  Instead, it relies upon the
selected speech system (gnome-speech, emacspeak, speech dispatcher) to
perform audio/driver support on Orca's behalf.

If you take emacspeak out of the equation, and choose gnome-speech with
eSpeak for Orca, do you still experience the hang?  If so, it might be
instability in Gutsy that's getting you.
