I can't remember what the list's feelings were on what synths = work well with orca? It appears that Fedora doesn't include espeak but being a lfs geek, = building it from source isn't a problem. Would it be worth building = espeak for orca? I also have a Dectalk licence. What version of Dectalk works most = efficiently with orca? I'd like to hear what others feel about the different synths with orca = in respect of their stability and responsiveness. Many thanks. Gena Amateur Call: M 0 E B P VOIP / IM: gena1959uk
