Orca does not speak

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Using the word "replace" for the switch is not poor English and is 
precise. If you really just wanted to restart Orca, you wouldn't need a 
command line switch at all. Here's what the "replace" switch does, taken 
from the Orca man page:


        *--replace*
               Replace a currently running*orca*  process.  By default, if*orca*  detects an  existing
               *orca*   process  for  the  same  session, it will not start a new*orca*  process.  This
               option will kill and cleanup after any existing*orca*  process and then start  a  new
               *orca*  in its place.

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.
