Re: [orca-list] yasr

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Did you set your defaulut synth in  speechd.conf?
There is a place towards the botgtom of the file where you can set a default synth for a given language, and 
if you do this I'd think yasr would use 
this.
Make sure the synths are uncommented of course, but I reckon this is done or you'd not be able to use the 
synths with orca or where ever you are using 
them now.
