Hello Guy, I'm not sure what may have gone wrong, but you can solve this 
situation by hand edititng your ~/.orca/user-settings.py file.

For Speech Dispatcher, you should have there:

orca.settings.speechServerFactory = 'orca.speechdispatcherfactory'
orca.settings.speechServerInfo = ['Speech Dispatcher Server (default)',
                                  'default']

The last two lines being one...

On my system I sometimes got to this situation because the Gnome Speech 
Festival driver went nuts with 100% CPU usage.   I wonder if there is a 
way to disable the Festival driver in Gnome Speech.

Best regards, Tomas
