Re: [orca-list] Orca and Synthesizers



as far as i know voxin which is a clone of eloquence but for linux and is multilingual last time i used it it worked great with orca. it worked on ubuntu 14.04 not sure about how it would work with sonar. you can still use ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04 but if you want the latest accessibility you'll have to use a PPA. add a PPA and then check for and do more upgrades once the PPA is added.

Dear List, thanks for the answers to my previous questions.  I think I am going to go with sonar, but  the 
stumbling block could be synthesizers.  I have never been a fan of espeak. What synthesizers are available 
for orca and can they be installed through the GUI or do you have to use the command line, which would be 
daunting as a total beginner.  What is speech dispatcher?  I read online that to install the festival 
synthesizer you have to type the command festvox-kallpc16k Can some kind soul explain why this sequence of 
letters installs the festival speech synthesizer?  I know there are cepstral voices that can be purchased, 
but the only instructions  I can find for installing them use the command line and involve creating a file 
with another long list of letters.  Where does the file have to be created?  Vinux sells a synthesizer called 
voxin.  Is this installed through the command line as well?

Many Thanks, Lee
