Re: [orca-list] Orca and Synthesizers

[Josh K <joshknnd1982 gmail com>]

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.
