speech despatcher along with speechdup can get console access for speech
when the X environment hasn'tgot enough power to do what must be done. I
think orca uses festival so that's probably already part of the distro.
I've got 0/0 vision so can't help you out any further.

The SpeechDispatcher API has some limitations which make the user
experience with orca a little less nice - as I understand it,
SpeechDispatcher doesn't support completion/progress tags within an
utterance, it can only tell you when an entire utterance is complete.
While I hear that espeak's q

Rather than a commercial speech solution, I would recommend eSpeak at

It works with speech-dispatcher and is Free and Open Source. It also

Hi Eduardo,
I second Henrik's suggestion: Ubuntu Edgy is a very nice demo

Hi Folks:
I just downloaded, built, and tested this OCR engine.
It is really pretty good, and it was very easy to build. At the moment
it is a bit limited (requires TIFF format, 8 bit depth, and doesn't
understand columns etc.) but the limitations don't seem to be in the
engine, only in the b

gnome-panel seems to crash a lot and quite spontaneously on Ubuntu,
