Re: [orca-list] Orca speaks extra dot character

[Alex ARNAUD <aarnaud hypra fr>]

    Indeed Joanie, it's a synthesizer issue.
    
    Be really careful, when following the below procedure, if you break
    speech-dispatcher, you won't be able to have speech anymore.
    
    We could work-around the issue with this:

• On root, edit the file /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf and uncomment the line "# DefaultSymbolsPreprocessing 1"
• Uncomment means remove the character "#" at the beginning of the line
• Save the file and then restart your computer
  

    Best regards.
