Hi.
I've had this happen to me before. You need to check if speech
dispatcher is actually working or not. It sounds to me like you
need to do a restart of speech dispatcher. Try the following:
spd-say 'hello'
If you hear e-speak's voice say "hello", your speech dispatcher is
working, otherwise, do the following with your daughter's help:
spd-conf
Make sure the output is set tp pulse and then, when prompted if
you want to restart speech dispatcher because it's already
running, say yes. You should hear "speech dispatcher working" or
something like that. I bet Orca starts talking right away after
that.
Good luck,
Alex M

system runs great, functions great, even has sound and wifi,
but orca, doesn't speak.
The settings look good, speech dispatcher is selected, espeak
is selected and all the volumes are up and unmuted, I even did a
sound test. but even after confirming all settings in orca prefs
I still have no speech. even with the eyes of my daughter
telling me what is on the screen, she says, orca itself is
activated but it just doesn't talk. she can see the about,
prefs, help buttons and the title orca screen reader.
Any advice will be helpful.
Thanks
