Re: [orca-list] Problem with speech stopping when using ibmtts and speech-dispatcher

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

I haven't needed to kill speech-dispatcher to get speech to resume, just 
cursoring down to the next line will continue speech. I guess may be a 
more correct wording might be:
Orca doesn't read beyond a link in firefox or thunderbird when using 
speech-dispatcher and ibmtts. Doing something which causes orca to 
produce more speech after this will give speech output.
