Re: [orca-list] orca with elequence is possible?

Yes, it's going to be quite buggy. It is maintained as well as can 
possibly be expected, considering it's based on old code that doesn't 
seem to exist in source form anymore, and the code was buggy before it 
seems to have disappeared. There are several free as in freedom options 
for your consideration, including eSpeak, Pico, and even flite and 
Festival, as long as you use something other than that terrible default 
kal/ked voice they ship with by default. Eloquence, Voxin, TTSynth, IBM 
ViaVoice, IBMTTS and all the other names it goes by are badly broken on 
today's hardware and software, and shouldn't be trusted as your primary 
speech synthesizer for everyday use.
