Re: [orca-list] what distro for orca?

[Robert Cole <rkcole72984 gmail com>]

Hello, Al.

I do not believe that Speakup is included with ubuntu 12.04. I am 
currently looking for a way to gt it installed and running.

I tried installing the speakup, espeakup, and speechd-up packages from 
Ubuntu's repositories only to find an error at the end of the process.

I will leave it at that for now, as I do not want to go too far off of 
the topic for this list since this is the Orca list. If I find a 
reasonably straightforward way to get this up and running on Ubuntu 
12.04 I will write you off-list, if that is alright? I have your e-mail 
address in my address book from previous correspondence which we have had.

I hope that you are well, and I am sorry that I do not have a complete 
answer to your question.

Take care.
