Hi,
ÂThanks for the response. I tried checking "test-speech" and it was working fine. The actual issue turned out to be the timeout duration setting in orca/settings.py (i.e) changed the timeout value in orca/settings.py from timeoutTime       = 10  # a value of 0 means don't do hang checking To timeoutTime       = 25  # a value of 0 means don't do hang checking The laptop was taking more time to load the speech server (it may also be so as it had espeak, Gnome speech & Speech Dispatcher ), but the ORCA application was timing out before the Speech server could be loaded and then festival-synthesizer was also consuming around 80 - 90 % of CPU, without ORCA getting completely loaded.  By changing the "timeoutTime" value, the issue was resolved.
