Re: Orca Crash with emacspeak speech factory and outloud server

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Bart:

The emacspeak speech factory in Orca is a bit sparse in its
implementation and support.  The DECtalk tables for emacspeak are more
complete with respect to the voices they support (thanks to Joanie!),
but the outloud tables are a bit limited.  I think male, man, and female
are all that are supported.

Hope this helps,

Will
