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

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

After installing ibmtts I then compiled speech-dispatcher from AUR. If you compile it before installing 
ibmtts then ibmtts support will not be built. If you want gnome-speech support for ibmtts (this is the only 
option due to the issue I have noticed) then get the gnome-speech PKGBUILD from ABS and rebuild that after 
installing ibmtts.
