Re: [orca-list] speech in orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

The dumy module is just when your default voice fails. It lets you know that speechdispatcher is still 
working but the 
voice you were using failed. 
If you have more than working TTS then you probably will fall back to something other than dummy.
I guess it may be used for some primitive testing as well at times, say if someone was messing with 
speechdispatcher code, 
but not sure about that. Mostlyly just a type of alert system
