hi lukas,
yes you are right, I am using the deb packages from the debian repository.
so you say that they are creating problems.
can I be safe by compiling sd from source?
by the way one more problem has been encountered on my laptop.
I find that orca now does not speak any punctuation even when mode is
set to all.
this is happening only when I use sd as my speech system and not gnome
speech system.
now is this a bug in orca or gnome?
regards,
Krishnakant.
