Re: [orca-list] Problem with Orca Preferences

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Terrence:

Yikes!  Not good.

One thing to do would be to first check to see if Swift is working with 
gnome-speech by running the 'test-speech' application.  This is a 
character cell application that lets you goof with various gnome-speech 
settings for the available engines.

If all is working well with gnome-speech, then do an "rm -rf ~/.orca" 
and run the orca setup procedure in text mode: "orca -t".  Cepstral 
Swift should show up in the list of available speech synthesis systems 
and you can move forward from there.

Hope this helps,

Will
