Dear users and developers,
May be, that somebody of us know about this speech server, but if no, i 
would like to introduce The new speech server Voiceman. The server is 
also written in C language like Speech-dispatcher, Speech-dispatcher 
developers would analyse The voiceman source code to find out, if many 
code have been copied from speech-dispatcher source code or no.
Voiceman can use Alsa, Pulse audio and even there is some attempt to 
integrate direct Orca support. The main issue for me is, how to find The 
location of Orca customization script.
It is really not easy task.
Voiceman can be downloaded from The sourceforge.net and there are also 
instructions to compile this speech server.
Voiceman is used in ALT Linux Homeros as A speech server. I have tried 
The live CD in The console mode and it seems to me, that this speech 
server would be stable.

Here are simple steps in The strange form, but developers off Bash 
scripts will understand it very well.

compatible with this speech server.
