How can I change the softsynth used for Speakup?  I made the mistake of 
using the same one, Festival, for both Speakup and Orca, and now when I 
start Speakup, I kill the voice for Orca.  So how can I fix this?

Thanks,
Terrence

As I wrote in another thread on this list recently, It should work if 
you use Speech Dispatcher both with Orca and Speakup.  Speech Dispatcher 
will handle speech from both clients for you.  Problems may arise when 
you try to use one synthesizer through two different speech systems 
(Speech Dispatcher and Gnome Speech).

Best regards

Tomas

Hmm...Orca doesn't give me speech-dispatcher as an option though; is there 
something I need to do to get Orca to recognize speech-dispatcher?

Why don't you use Orca with Espeak? When you use Feisty, you must not 
install it, because it comes with Feisty and Orca. That can avoid your 
problem with Orca's silence.

I'm using edgy now actually; I haven't upgraded because I don't want to 
have to make *another* big bunch of back-ups, and re-get all the apps I've 
put on here; it would be probably about the 3rd time or more in a year.  I 
did install espeak on my  system though, but Orca doesn't see it.

You will need Speech Dispatcher 0.6.2 and a recent Orca version 
(preferably the latest SVN).  See 
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/SpeechDispatcher for more info.

Best regards, Tomas.
