Re: [orca-list] dealing with gnome-shell on new system

[Don Raikes <DON RAIKES ORACLE COM>]

So running spd-say hello gives me nothing  no sound no error messages nothing.
I did this from within a gnome-terminal.

So how do  I go about debugging speech-dispatcher?

Just little note to add. I think correct command to diagnose speech-dispatcher is spd-say hello
