I could be biased in my opinion, but having been a devoted Debian user
for about 2 years I would recommend Ubuntu. I am actually thinking of
migrating my system from Debian to Ubuntu from all I've heard of their
"just works" philosophy and considering that I have had no trouble
getting any live CD
Hi all,
I am choocing between Fedora and Ubuntu. Yes, they are two distributions, I
know that but when it comes to accessibility and get things to work in Gnome
like Openoffice and Firefox, is the Ubuntu the most easiest to go for?
Many thanks,
Christian

Hello Nolan,
I highly doubt that
Hi.
The overlapping speech problem you are seeing with espeak is a result of
using aplay for output. I get the same effect with DEctalk and the dtk
generic module when I changed it to use aplay for output.
I currently use the gnome-speech driver and dtk-generic output module
instead of the direct

Thanks! Error messages definitely help. But...I think you got the
sanity check you were seeking (i.e., "Does this stuff even work?" -- the
answer is "YES!" :-)).
If I were to take a guess, lately all these odd crashes seem to point
back to a gnome-panel crash. We're digging into that crash some
Hello Will,
Unfortunatly I lost speech when I opened up the word processor and I have no

Hi all,
Yesterday I downloaded the Ubuntu 6.10 release and I was able to run it without
any problems. However, when I decided to give Openoffice a try, the word

Many thanks,

Hi All:
My only dealings with Loquendo have been done indirectly via the folks
that have written the gnome-speech driver for Loquendo (Juan Ramon
Jimenez from ONCE, to be exact). I'll pass some questions on to ONCE,
however, to see if they can help us get a response from Loquendo.
The only Loque
I would also like to know if there is a Linux version and about pricing if
anyone has an idea, please let us know.
TIA, Willem

Does anyone happen to know where things stand with Loquendo? I would
