Re: [orca-list] OT:A newbie Arh Q or two

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

I do have all the addmodule directives commented out in my 
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf. I understand it that built-in 
modules are tried and loaded if available.
Of course you still have to explicitly add generic ones.
With such a config I can see three output modules activated out of the 
box.
espeak-ng
generic
dummy
I have all of them also listed in the Screen reader preferences dialog.

If espeak-ng is not loading for you for some reason, can you please look 
into speech-dispatcher log to find out what's going on?

You can use
spd-say -O
to list all loaded speech-dispatcher output modules
and you can then use the chosen module like so...
spd-say -o espeak-ng "this is a test"

It is really all working fine for me so describing how it behaves over 
here is the only thing I can do at this point.

Please look into it one more time and please let me know how it goes 
this time.
Perhaps you will notice something important and we'll be able to figure 
it out.


Greetings

Peter
