[orca-list] Getting orca to speak using mate desktop in arch?

[matthew dyer <ilovecountrymusic483 gmail com>]

Hi all,

Here in a fresh install of Arch Linux with the mate desktop, I am not able to get speech but espeakup works 
fine.  Is theree something I need to do to get it working?  I have espeak-ng installed.  I am guessing that 
orca for what ever reason is not using it.  Any arch users here able to get it working and tell me what I 
might be doing wrong?  Thanks.  

Matthew
