Espeak

[Willem van der Walt]

Janina,
If you use orca through the gnome-speech-speech-dispatcher setup with 
speech-dispatcher, you can have the two screen readers living in harmony.  
This works with espeak and will also if ttsynth can be used through 
speech-dispatcher.
Within orca, speakup says blank, top, bottom etc. so you might want to 
kill it or turn it off while in gnome anyway.
Regards, Willem
