Re: [orca-list] Orca, speech-dispatcher and eSpeak stability

[farhan <i am farhan gmail com>]

Hello, this might be off topic but I hope that it isn't as  it  has something to do with Orca.
I installed ubuntu 8.10, switched off pulse and am now using alsa with speech-dispatcher and espeak.
I got voxin and it works with sd.
The problem I am having is voxin has problems with  multicase  capitalized letters and strange punctuation issues.
Orca's  punctuation is set to all the way off, and so is speech-dispatchers.
I think this is a ibm tts  synth problem, and if anyone can help me fix this this will be most appriciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I reported the bug with speech-dispatcher and eSpeak on the
speech-dispatcher list. It appears to be some kind of bug with alsa or
something, even though I am running pulseaudio here and am having the
same problem. I received a reply on that list that suggested I either
have speech-dispatcher output via OSS or use gnome-speech. I liked
either of these options less than I liked having to create a hotkey to
a small script that will restart speech-dispatcher and Orca, so the
latter is what I did. Hopefully this bug will be fixed very soon. 
    

It last since one year, so I am not that optimistic.

  

I
get tired of losing speech, even though I can just press a key
combination to restart it. And gnome-speech isn't the best option for
me either, since its eSpeak driver is now bypassing pulseaudio ...
    

A third solution is to spend a few bugs, stimulate our economy and buy
either Voxin or Dectalk. I've bought Voxin, and now I'm able to use SD
via Alsa output.
