Hello, Hi, I'm Enrico, my current task is to get Dapper to become a usable desktop for Italian blind people. I've been fiddling with the speech accessibility features of Dapper for a few days now, and I found lots of ways to get gnome-speech to hang, Now I'm looking for ways to keep it working. One hanging scenario: - freshly installed dapper, Italian localization - disable esd from preferences/audio - enable accessibility and screen reader from preferences/accessibility - log out and in again - gnopernicus works - disable screen reader (but not accessibility) from preferences/accessibility - log out and in again - orca-setup, works fine, speaks - orca - speech doesn't work anymore. test-speech exits with: Exception Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' getting voice list. Another hanging scenario: - freshly installed dapper, Italian localization - disable esd from preferences/audio - enable 'universe' and install festlex-ifd, festvox-italp16k and festvox-itapc16k to have italian synthesis - enable accessibility and screen reader from preferences/accessibility - log out and in again - gnopernicus works in English - go in the preferences/speech/voices menu and choose the italian female voice for all voices, raise the rate a bit. The female voice speaks when raising the rate. - close the Voices menu, no more speech. test-speech exits with: Exception Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' getting voice list. In test-speech, the Speech Dispatcher output doesn't work. The festival one works, but breaks after a minimum of use, where minimum of use means just choosing the voices I'd like to use. What can I look/try to get myself unstuck? Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico enricozini org>
