Re: [orca-list] No speech from orca in GUI in arch but espeakup works fine.

Hello Peter, Matthew and everybody else,

My experience is that speech-dispatcher no longer works well with
eSpeak it's working fine with eSpeak-ng.

I just re-installed espeak-1.48.04 (that I don't ship in Slint anymore)
then rebuilt Speech-Dispatcher from git master with these options:
--with-espeak=yes --with-espeak-ng=no
with no issue.

spd-say -o espeak Hello says "Hello" and orca speaks with an espeak voice.

I think that's an Arch packaging issue. Looking at:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/speech-dispatcher
I assume that the espeak module was not built, because espeak was not
installed when building the package.

So if Matthew installed espeak not espeak-ng, this would explain that.

If I am correct, removing espeak then installing espeak-ng should solve
the issue

Looking at the logs of speech-dispatcher could indeed help investigate.

Greetings,

Didier

That's no guarrantee it got compiled correctly.  archlinux has makepkg
which you get after pacman -S base-devel unless it's already on your
machine and with that you can build your own version of any of the
archlinux packages.

Also. Easpeak-by is in the afisial arch repo. I used the Pac-Man -S

Espeak-NG when I got the error. HTH.

Hello,

In my opinion it's better to just write LDLIBS='-lespeak-ng

-lpthread'

in the 'make' command (as we do in Slint) when compiling than

modifying

the Makefile upstream, knowing that some distributions still ship
espeak, so forking he repo just for that can be confusing for

packages

maintainers.

Furthermore, in the initial post Matthew didn't mention an issue

with

espeakup but with Orca.

Best,

Didier

hello. i think that problem is because ArchLinux switched to

espeak-ng. and speatch-despatcher requires it. espeakup currently uses
old espeak witch conflicts with ng variant.

I recommend you install espeak-ng. but espeakup will not work.
here I created espeakup source code which are compatible with

espeak-ng https://github.com/alex19EP/espeakup-ng

Is there a way to disable the screen saver with speakup? Is there

a wiki link to the orca or what? I am not sure what the screen saver
has to do with orca, but will take a look. I don?t recall having to
doing anything to get orca running before. I think it was a Chang in
arch at some point.

One of the problems is the screen saver is running and it will

help to

disable that.  Once you get into g.u.i. try screen-reader

--replace

<enter> from the alt-f2 command prompt.  That may be enough to

get stuff

going a little more.

Hi, orca comes up, but without speech. After installing mate

and orca I did the following command. farting set org.mate.interface
accessibility true which worked. There is just no speech in GUI. I am
using GDM as my login manager if that matters.

Doing the gsettings steps to enable accessibility helps with

problem.  I think you can find them on the orca documentation

wiki.

Fortunately, you can do all of those commands in espeak on the

console.

Then if what you installed was mate alt-f2 screen-reader

otherwise

alt-f2 orca should work the first time.

Hi all,

Yesterday I installed arch using the tarch image from the

talking arch site and all went well but afterr installing a GUI and
starting orca I found that though audio sounds work fine, orca is
silent and I am not sure why.  Any idea how to fix this?  Espeakup
works fine and so I am wondering if it is an audio thing with pulse
audio or something else.  I could try to change the audio out to also,
but wanted to see if anyone else had this happen and how did they fix
this.  Thanks.


Matthew
