hi
I know exactly what's going on. Sometimes this happens when updating
espeak, if espeak's dictionaries have changed a lot. Try killing orca
and speech-dispatcher, run killall -9 orca speech-dispatcher in a
terminal, then restart orca. That should clear it right up. If not,
please mail back and I'll do my best to help
Please note that espeak's US english has a couple of pronunciation
errors taht were not in the version you were using, but has fixed a
lot that weren't in yours. perches, for example, is said as per chez.
antechamber, is totally mangled. If you want, I maintain a git
repository of espeak US english fixes, which you can download. Run the
script in the repo, and it will automatically update the git
repository to the latest changes, copy the new files  into
/usr/share/espeak-data where they belong, and tell espeak to compile
new dictionaries. It will ask you to restart espeakup using systemd,
but ignore this as ubuntu doesn't use systemd yet, I don't think.  If
you want my fixes, you can point git to
http://github.com/coffeeking/espeak-en-us.git. Make sure to run git
clone  before that url. Sorry for the long email
Thanks
