Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Wonder why it doesn't have software speech like Debian.  I haven't had
a hardware speech synth since like 1998 or something when my Keynote
Gold died.  Closest I have to a device that might serve is a cell
phone.  I bet there's a way to turn an android phone into an external
speech synthesizer.  Kind of like what was possible with devices like
Braille 'n Speaks back when.  Somebody smart and savvy ought to look
into it.  =)
