Re: [orca-list] TTSynth voice question

Hi Bob:

OK -- this is good (I think).  Try running 'espeak-synthesis-driver' in 
one terminal window and 'test-speech' in another.  See if eSpeak appears 
in the list of synthesizers in the 'test-speech' terminal window and/or 
if any errors appear in the 'espeak-synthesis-driver' terminal window. 
Something bad might be happening, such as maybe a shared library isn't 
being found by 'espeak-synthesis-driver'.
