Re: [orca-list] CentOS 6.2 and Orca

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Not being familiar with Centos beyond knowing it's a RedHat-based
distro, I'd say that you can always download and install from source
if you don't have a pre-build rpm package made specifically for your
distribution.  You ought to at least do yourself a favor and obtain
Espeak.  It's multilingual and much more responsive than Festival.
You will find it dramatically so even with Gnome speech services.
I've got a virtual machine with Debian Squeeze running Orca with
Gnome-spech services and honestly can't find any justificaiton for
moving to speech dispatcher as long as I use espeak.  It's reliable
and responsive enough for my needs.  Indeed, I've got another vm that
does have speech dispatcher installed in Debian and it's so so very
responsive that it often talks over itself as you navigate dialogs if
you go too quickly and you get a sort of espeak chorus at times which
can mke somewhat annoying.
