Re: [orca-list] wish to change inflection while Orca is on

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

Basically, your voices are in a subfolder of espeak-data called voices. 
There's another subdir there with variants that is the one with an ! point prepended to its name, !V I think 
it is.
The best thing to do is make your voice file, give it a distinct name, (in the file, not speaking of the 
filename itself, although of course it also 
must be unique), and save it inthe voices direectory. You can use subdirs in the voices folder to store your 
custom voice files as well.
I have a few voices, especially female ones I've made that I copy in to espeak-data/voices when I do a new 
installation of any Linux distro.
Espeak-data is found in different places depending on distro. 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
for a 64bit Ubuntu or Vinux installation, /usr/share for Arch and its dirivatives, maybe some other locations 
for other distros.
