Hi Ian: Does 'test-speech' work for you?
To an aside, from the terminal should the command orca -h throw an error? When I was trying to find help from orca and did this command, I got an error back which indicated that the -h was not trapped properly. I can grab the exact error if you want.
Ah...yeah. -h is not a known option. The switches for help are as follows: -?, --help Show this help message Hope this helps, and please let me know about 'test-speech'. Will
