Re: [orca-list] Utilitary TTS for orca

[Vojtěch Šmiro <vsmiro seznam cz>]

Hello.


You musn't reboot. In Debian, I've onli logged out and logged in again 
and it works.


And if you have some errors with Voxin, make two option profiles. In 
default I am recommending to have Sepeak and for every voice you might 
have to set a new profile. I've done it and it's great. And I've set 
insert P hotkey to switch between profiles.


Best regards


Vojta.
