I've been messing with Gnome-Speech and Speech Dispatcher where I can
switch between them and compare outcomes.  I'll list what I notice
below as list items.

1. I noticed in flat review mode some additional punctuation symbols
get spoken while using gnome-speech where with dispatcher, they do
not.  This is while in a gnome terminal and reading mail with mutt; I
refer specifically to the greater symbols in quoted messages.
gnome-speech speaks them.

2. Espeak works greate with both systems.

3. When using Cepstral voices, gnome-speech works better but is still
sluggish; I suppose that might be more to do with swift and not Orca.
But with speech dispatcher, Cepstral swift seems to falter a lot; I
basically don't like using it with dispatcher.

4. I notice with gnome-speech and espeak, frequent breakup -
particularly when disk activity kicks in.  I have never noticed this
with dispatcher.
