Hi,

there is more questions. First you need know whether you want to use
orca with Czech language. Because I know that your native language is
Slowak I think that yes. If yes then best way is use speech dispatcher
with orca.

For this you need use orca 2.19 from svn repository. The configuration
and compilation process is easy and is well described on Orca pages.

Then you need install python-speechd package and latest speech
dispatcher.

If you want configure orca in gnome then good way is run orca from
terminal as: orca -t I think that you will have here some problems
because there is problem with festival driver in gnomespeech on debian
but I'm not sure with it now. So try it and write again and we can
continue.

Best.
