SBL

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi,
I've downloaded the sources here, both sbl and kbdsniffd, and managed to compile them.
It seems it's working as far as the log file says.
I see that there's --speech option, to set the speech syntesizer to use, which defaults to none.
I tried espeak, but no luck here.
What should I type here to use espeak?

Also, the makefile says "make sure Orca is installed in blah-blah...
python2.7... blah-blah, which is not possible - Orca uses python3 now.
What's Orca used for here?
If it's used for speech, that's bad, cause probably sbl should be
ported to python3, or at least the related parts.
I haven't looked at the source code yet to see what's doing what.

-- 
Best wishes,
Zahari
