Espeak

[Janina Sajka]

You may not be able to have Orca and Speakup talking through espeak at
the same time. You will probably be able to simply kill your Speakup
process in order to switch to Orca, then restart it when back in the
console. This annoying workaround is what I currently do with TTSynth,
and I noticed similar issues with espeak when I tried it the other day.

Obviously, I'm assuming you're trying to use both Speakup and Orca. My
apologies if my memory serves me poorly on this.

PS: Love that Latin voice in espeak! Now, can we get Gnome menus in
Latin? <grin>

: I'm aware of the hacks intedned to allow multiple processes to play
sound--but this doesn't cover the dual screen reader use case in my
experience. Perhaps others are getting better results?
