Forwarding to this list, as the question could probably be answered by
primarily Speakup users as well.

Subject: [orca-list] Instalation question.


I'm looking at installing Linux on a 5-year-old laptop with both Orca and
Speakup running probably Espeak. I'm wondering how interchangeable the two
screenreaders are. Meaning, if from within a command line I start something
that requires Gnome, will Speakup shut up and Orca take over, still using
the Espeak synth, or is there something specific I have to do to make that
happen? The same question applies for multiple virtual consoles in which I
have gnome running in one, and a command line in another. Will switching
from one to the other be seemless, or again is there something in particular
I have to do to make it happen? Any info you can provide would be greatly
appreciated.

Yes, switching between speakup and orca should be seamless. If you're
running in a text console, you'll hear speakup. If you're running in
gnome, be it a gnome application, or a command prompt under
gnome-terminal you'll hear orca. As for which synth is used, that
depends on which synth you've configured whichever screen reader to
use. If orca is configured for espeak, it will use that.
