Orca does not speak

[Linux for blind general discussion]

It depend on which distribution, Janina.

On Slint you can have speech with espeakup and using Orca
in a graphical environment like Mate.

IIRC this is also true for Vinux.

So, all depends on the settings of speech-dispatcher,
Alsa and PulseAudio.

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.
