Yeah!  When you run test-speech, can you get the voice to speak?  If
not, then it won't work with Orca.  :-(

If you uncomment the following lines in your ~/.orca/user-settings.py
file, Orca will log information regarding what is being sent to speech
and braille to 'debug.out':

orca.debug.debugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_INFO
orca.debug.debugFile = open('debug.out', 'w', 0)

Hope this helps,
