Re: [orca-list] New User Requesting Info

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Ron:

Welcome to the Orca list!  You can find more information about Orca at http://live.gnome.org/Orca and http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/ats-2.html.  This list also has a number of people who are very helpful if you cannot find things in the documentation.

Hope this helps,

Will

I am using the Vinux distribution and while the associated mailing list is helpful, I was advised that since I have dived in with both feet, that I might do well to join the Orca mailing list.  Apparently a number of the Vinux developers are not Blind and the chief developer says he has only a cursory knowledge of Orca.

I am from the US and with the E-Speak voices being primarily British accented and not as clear as I am used to, I am wondering if there are any more available voices or even synthesizers/engines that have voices in US English or even British voices with more clarity. I am a long time Windows user and I am comfortable with the Eloquence British voices.  Even something of that nature would be preferable (although the more you listen to E-speak British, the more you get used to it's idiosyncrasies <g>.)
