Hello yogesh,
Yes, it is possible to use Orca with Eloquence, but Eloquence does not
come with Vinux or any other Linux distribution by default because
Eloquence is not free software. If you want Eloquence you can by Voxin
from
http://www.oralux.org
for about $6.00 USD per language. Voxin comes with custom built
packages for Speech Dispatcher, the IBM Viavoice/Eloquence binaries,
and support for Emacspeak as well.
Cheers!

Hi Andy,
Yes and no. I've got an older Compaq C500 laptop with Ubuntu 12.04,
Orca 1.4.2, and Eloquence running on it and Eloquence runs perfectly
fine. However, I have a newer 64-bit Toshiba with a 64-bit version of
Ubuntu 12.04 on it and Eloquence crashes constantly. So my experience
is that Eloquence is unreliable and unstable on newer PCs. At least
under 64-bit Linux. It might be interesting to install a 32-bit
version of Ubuntu on that laptop to see if it resolves that problem.

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.

I am having major problems getting through the update manager. When I start
it, check for updates start. When this is finished, update-manager goes
completely unresponsive, and the only way to get out of the problem is to
hard restart. When I try sudo apt-get update, it is supposed to ask for the
password. For some reason, after this point, everything freezes. Any ideas
what the problem is?

I have no idea what the problem is, but could you please choose a subject
line
that reflects the issue you're trying to raise and which is not
disrespectful
of a lot of work by many people?
If you disagree with the Ubuntu release process, and there are indeed
people
within Ubuntu who are critical of it, then you can easily change to a
different distribution that accords more with your priorities.
I am not and have never been an Ubuntu user, by the way, since there are
aspects of Ubuntu that don't match my preferences and needs.
As to why they released, it's well known that Ubuntu is on a six-month
release
schedule; it's October and therefore they released the version that they
had
been stabilizing.

I'm using Voxin on a pretty new Asus machine running 64-bit Ubuntu, and
I'm not having any problems with voxin.

You will need the festival or flite package installed to use either of
those synthesizers. The package for pico on Ubuntu is called libttspico0
I believe. However, I'm not sure that Ubuntu's version has Pico support
built in, although it should as far as I know. eSpeak is installed by
default, and is most likely what you heard when booting your system for
the first time. Hope this helps.
