Re: [orca-list] problem with gnome-speech in intrepid?

[Guy Schlosser <guyster bex net>]

Hey there Tomas, unfortunately, speech-dispatcher was never installed 
on that machine.  I was gonna do that before I upgraded, but I was 
curious to test gnome-speech in intrepid, to see how it was 
working.  If I install s-d on that machine now, will that give me 
speech back, if I did maybe an orca -t and selected speech-dispatcher?

Thanks,


Guy
