Hello,
Direct eSpeak support for orca has some performance issues, I
don't think that is viable for day to day use.
In order to fix your locale issues, you might like to try
regenerating the locale data.
In your favorite text editor open a file
/etc/locale.gen
If it's missing then try to reinstall glibc
sudo pacman -S glibc
If this does not work, then try to update your system.
If it still does not work try
sudo pacman -Sy glibc
Finally if you have got the file
/etc/locale.gen
showing in your text editor of choice uncoming the locales you
wish to generate respective data for. I suggest uncommenting the
line
#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
If you need other locales you can also uncomment them e.g.
#en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
Once uncommented save the file and run the following command in
your terminal
locale-gen
Now try to repeat tests with speech-dispatcher as suggested by
Storm earlier.
If it does not work, then we need to work out if you are using
pulseaudio or alsa and try to diagnose what's going on here.
Recently we had a conversation on getting kali linux to play
sounds with Don Raikes. I think I have tried to explain a lot of
alsa vs pulseaudio stuff in there. You may like to check that
discussion.
If it still does not work for you after doing and checking all
this please ask, we'll try to come up with more possible
solutions.
Greetings

Hi,
I haven't seen that particular error with speech-dispatcher
before. If it is vital that you get Orca up and running before any
other solution can be found, you could try installing the orca
version with built in espeak support. If you would like to do so:
git clone https://github.com/pvagner/orca
cd orca
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
I'm not sure how to pick espeak from the list without having
speech, maybe Peter can help out with that. If there is a way to
do it that is. Maybe when the direct espeak code gets added, it
will be included in the orca -t options so it will be possible to
select it from the CLI. Sorry I can't do any better than this, but
maybe it will be enough to get you up and running.

Hi, Storm, and thanks for the
suggestions. I'm sorry to say that trying either spd-say
"hello" or the command speech-dispatcher gives me
setlocale: No such file or directory
I installed speech-dispatcher-git and got the same thing. (I
had to use this Windows machine to get the link." I think
there's a man page for setlocale, but I couldn't figure out what
it had to do with speech-dispatcher. I certainly couldn't
figure out how any relevant file or directory by that name got
removed or where it's supposed to be.
Anybody have any ideas?

Howdy,
Did you try:
spd-say "hello"
Does it speak?
If not, try:
killall -9g speech-dispatcher && speech-dispatcher
then repeat the above step again:
spd-say "hello"
If that still doesn't speak, try upgrading to
speech-dispatcher from git
available in the AUR. Hopefully, when the espeak code gets
added, loss
of speech will become much more rare.

Greetings!
I didn't use my Linux machine for a few days. Today, I find
that Orca
doesn't speak. It is running, according to the ps command.
Sound is
fine, as shown by using Firefox to get to an online radio
station. I
have used versions 3.17.90pre, 3.16.2, and 3.17.91pre, and
have
rebooted for each. The super-alt-s keystroke has
alternately shown me
that it was running and that it was not. I have also tried
Orca-s
several times. It seems, therefore, that everything I've
used is
working except Orca's speech output.
I'm using Arch. I ran an update today, after finding this
problem. I
think I did one last week, but don't recall whether I used
Orca
afterwards or simply shut down, so can't say for sure that
that update
didn't somehow cause the problem.
I'll be grateful for any help.
Al
