Hi Ricky and others,

If you installed Speech Dispatcher as a Debian package, you will also
need to install the Speech Dispatcher Python Interface, which is in a
separate package called python-speechd.  The same probably applies for
Ubuntu.  Installing this package should fix the problem and Speech
Dispatcher should show up automatically in preferences on next Orca startup.

Thank you for noticing that, I will add the information to the
instructions.  Let me know if it helped.

Best regards

Tomas
