Re: [orca-list] orca and Hardy - no speech - ibmTTS dependancy

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

Well, for me, test-speech does work (tried espeak and IBMTTS and they both 
work from test-speech).
Does your orca speak with espeak? I can't get speech at all. I just tried 
deleting my .orca tree from my home directory, hoping that it would restore 
my speech driver settings to use espeak instead of IBMTTS, thinking that 
this might be my issue. However, no joy and no speech.
