Re: [orca-list] You all're gonna think I'm stupid, but, I need help with Gnome-Speech

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I've always wondered why they haul off and fix what isn't broken.  Why
was Gnome speech deprecated?  I don't believe speech dispatcher
supports nearly as much stuff as gnome speech did:  Hardware speech
synthesizers, commercial speech synthesizers like dectalk, nuance and
acapella and on and on and on.
