Re: [orca-list] mbrola with espeak for orca

[John G Heim <jheim math wisc edu>]

I am running ubuntu 16.04 with orca3.20.3. The 
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf file seems to be ignored by orca. 
When I check the

list of synthesizers available it has things that are commented out in 
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf but does not list things that are 
not commented out.
