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

Hi Robert,

Actually, Speakup is installed on Ubuntu 12, but its tricky to get 
working. Primarily if you want to use it don't log into an x session or 
speech using ESpeakup won't work. One way I found to resolve this issue 
is to have Ubuntu boot into run level 3 so that you are booted directly 
into a shell environment rather than to a x session. I believe the issue 
has to do with pulse audio.

Cheers!
