Re: [orca-list] Orca with external speech synth

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I once tried to get my apollo synth working with orca but didn't have 
much success.

I set up the emacspeak speech server and had it all working fine with 
emacspeak. Then when I used orca to try and set it to use the apollo 
synth I hit problems. Emacspeak speech server appeared as an option but 
in the list of synths I couldn't find my apollo.

I have looked at the source code for orca in the speech server stuff 
(admittedly not in huge detail) and from what I gathered it seemed like 
for emacspeak servers it needed to have some code written for each synth 
it would support and the apollo wasn't one that orca had code written 
for. Have I understood this right? Will orca need some code writing to 
support the apollo through emacspeak speech server (although emacspeak 
speech server does support apollo for emacspeak)?
