Hey folks.
Since buying a copy of ttsynth, I have had a play with it using orca. 
Unfortunately, even with the latest Orca svn, and latest gnome-speech 
svn, ttsynth still speaks very slowly even when set to the fastest rate.

However, if I build speech-dispatcher with ttsynth support, and use 
speech-dispatcher from Orca, the fastest rate is nice and fast, although 
it could be much faster.

I have also found that if one arros through several lines of text, or 
moves through menus quickly, speech is not interrupted as you go. I.e, 
speech overlaps, due to ALSA being used, and previous speech not being 
quieted.

I have almost got things ready to offer prebuilt packages of 
speech-dispatcher, orca, and gnome-speech for feisty. All of these will 
have support for ttsynth included, So if you don't want to go through 
the hastle of building yourself, there isa solution around the corner.
