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

[chrys87 <chrys87 web de>]

Howdy,

i think orca uses the list that it get returned by the speechd api

import speechd
client = speechd.SSIPClient('coolClient')
client.list_output_modules()

if that is the case the generics are reported correctly (i tryed).
but maybe you should take care about that speech-dispatcher can also 
have a configuration by user
vim .config/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
that overwrites the global one in /etc/ so you may want to uncomment it 
in the config file located at your home.
after uncommenting you have to restart speech-dispatcher.

(without warranty currently what orca does, i just would expect it in 
that way, anything else would not make any sense)
hope that helps
cheers chrys
