Re: [orca-list] no speech with orca and mate desktop



Hey Don hope you are well.

orca -s will bring the Orca preferences window up.

Is there a reason why you changed to Alsa?

Have you actually confirmed Orca is installed?

dpkg -l |grep orca |espeak


Was this after sound effects working but no speech from Orca?

Hello,

 

I am working on creating a bootable flashdrive with kali Linux (a port of debian jesse).

At this point, I can get the live system to boot into the mate desktop, and have brltty working.

When I start orca from the run dialog, it looks like orca starts, but I get no sound.  I have gone to the sound / video menu and then sound and made sure the volume is turned up and that the sound is not muted.  I can get some sound effects as well.

 

When I open a console window, and run espeak –f test.txt espeak reads the contents of the file fine so at least that much is working.

 

I altered /etc/speech-dispatcher/speech.conf to have the audiooutput = “libao” instead of “pulse”. And restarted speech-dispatcher with no success.

 

Also not sure how to access the orca preferences dialog to make sure things are set correctly there.

 

Any tips would be appreciated.

 

Don
