Re: [orca-list] Crazy Speech Changes

Hello,
Initially this sounds like the same issue. Are you using espeak with 
speech-dispatcher? It seems to have gone away for me by upgrading to the 
latest test version of espeak. On ArchLinux you can get this version of 
espeak by using the AUR package espeak-test.
