Hi, I originally had Orca configured to use gnome-speech with
voxin. With this configuration, however, I wasn’t able to shut up
voxin (sometimes for several minutes). I thought Pulseaudio was interfering with Orca when I was
testing all this. Thus, I uninstalled PulseAudio and ran with
speech-dispatcher and voxin instead. Do you think I would be better off re-installing
PulseAudio? Will that show up in Orca as one of the preferences for
connecting with voxin? Are there any other problems I’ll run into
with PulseAudio? Thanks. --Pete From:

Of Jacob Schmude Hi This is actually an issue with speech dispatcher and ALSA. I
personally use Pulseaudio, so I don't get bit by this, but what happens is when
using speech dispatcher with ALSA it queues up the sound but, when the sound is
supposed to be interrupted, the buffer isn't flushed immediately so the sound
doesn't stop. You'll notice that when pressing ctrl to silence Orca there is a
bit of a delay before speech actually goes silent, this is another
manifestation of the same issue. This is actually specific to speech dispatcher
and ALSA, Orca is not causing this one. On Aug 9, 2009, at 23:46, Peter Torpey wrote:
Hi, I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and Orca. I am also using the voxin
speech engine with speech-dispatcher (configured in Orca). This mostly works okay, but I am noticing a strange affect where
Orca is sometimes speaking things twice. Typically this happens if I move focus to a new item quickly
before the last item is completely finished speaking. As an example, if I’m in a gnome termina session and have
the following on the screen: First line Second line Third line If I arrow from the top line down to the next line I will hear: Second second line Where the first word seems to be in a slightly lower frequency
voice. Is this a common problem with Orca or is there something
configured incorrectly in my system? This makes it difficult to quickly
navigate through items and text. Thanks for any suggestions. --Pete _______________________________________________ The major difference between a thing that might go
