Re: [orca-list] strange bug with orca and espeak ng

[Tyna Pelletier-Bilodeau <ecole tyna gmail com>]

I can confirm that the emojis are buggy, all in all, with speech dispatcher
Take this as an example:

⏲

It's a clock. Now if you use

espeak-ng -v en+michel (or any other voice or language in which emoji 
are supported) "⏲"

It will say 'timer clock' which is correct.

now,
spd-say -o espeak-ng -y en+michel "⏲"

It will say 'timer clock' and add some nonsense words to it.
