Michael: You can use orca with DECtalk. To do so, you will need to rebuild gnome-speech, since by default the DECtalk driver is not built and installed. I believe that gnome-speech will build and install the DECtalk drivers if DECtalk is detected on your system when you build.
I will leave it to Will to explain how to select a TTS engine in orca's preferences. regards Bill MICHAEL WEAVER wrote: > I am hoping to upgrade Ubuntu on my laptop next week from Dapper to Edgy. > I can use the default software synthesiser but I am not all that keen > on it especially > as one of the Linux groups I attend is in a fairly noisy pub. > Could anyone suggest a suitable software synthesiser and how to install it? > I have the Dectalk which I am hoping to get working but if I can't get > it working > with Orca I need to find out an alternative. > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-accessibility-list mailing list > gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list > _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
