Re: [orca-list] Orca-list Digest, Vol 15, Issue 50

Try the modification with the appropriate gnome-speech bonobo activation
file if it is a gnome-speech driver. That way you don't need to do all
that faffing around when you start the system. I don't know if viavoice
has a gnome-speech driver as I think espeak is good enough (considering
it is free software (both meanings of free)).
