Re: [orca-list] Some questions

Yes, I've edited that string.
We need to try and improve the over all tone/accent of espeak for Spanish. I like eSpeak a lot in English, 
but have
resorted to voxinwhen I need to listen to a lot of spanish.
I'd even use svox-pico but it was very unstable on Vinux for me, and I could not even get it to work at all 
on Arch as I
recall.
If the distro you want has mate 1.8 available, then latest orca will work nicely with it.
You'll need to check dependencies, and at-spi packages for sure will need to be up to date, as well as python 
ones.
Suerte,
