Orca does not speak

[Linux for blind general discussion]

As root please do:
pacman -Ss pygobject-3
If that comes back as uninstalled do:
pacman -S pygobject-3 .
Then start mate and control-windows-s and find out if orca starts
talking.
An individual was trying to build orca on a debian system and couldn't
build orca because that package wasn't pulled in as a dependency even
though orca apparently requires the pygobject-3 package.
That's the responsibility of the package builder on archlinux who builds
orca and if that person builds the package and/or does not know
once the package gets built it is essential to test and make sure the
package comes up talking before
putting the package into the repository, then there's no way that
package is going to talk.
Right now, I don't know who is orca's package builder on archlinux.

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.
