Re: [orca-list] Auto start, and adding other speech voices

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

Here's some information about adding other speech engines:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech

There is also a second speech server, called speech-dispatcher. I don't 
use it, but there are many on this list who can point you in the right 
direction for getting it working with Orca.

To answer questions about Orca on your system, it will be useful to know 
the versions of Orca and gnome on your machine. To get this information, 
launch gnome-terminal and type the following two commands:

orca --version

gnome-about --version

Good luck,

dave
