And, you may need to figure out how to have both espeakup and
speech-dispatcher working at the same time. In my experience they don't
like each other very much.

It's an old argument we keep having on this, and many related Linux
lists. Sad, but true.

The major problem I am having is that orca does not speak. Espeakup in the command line works but as soon as I go into Nate orca although turned on does not work. Anyone have ideas in how to fix it.
