Re: ubuntu and software synthesiser

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Michael:

You can use orca with DECtalk.  To do so, you will need to rebuild 
gnome-speech, since by default the DECtalk driver is not built and 
installed.  I believe that gnome-speech will build and install the 
DECtalk drivers if DECtalk is detected on your system when you build.

I will leave it to Will to explain how to select a TTS engine in orca's 
preferences.

regards

Bill
