Re: [orca-list] Questions about espeak-ng in fedora-mate

[Kyle <kyle free2 ml>]

Your pitch isn't changing because of the absence of an espeak-ng 
configuration in speech-dispatcher, but because your default speech 
synthesizer is set as espeak instead of espeak-ng. Setting espeak-ng as 
the speech synthesizer in Orca's preferences fixed that here. You may 
also need to copy your Orca settings to lightdm's home folder if the 
problem persists when you're trying to log in.

sudo cp -R .local/share/orca /var/lib/lightdm/.local/share

should do that for you, although you may also need to

sudo chown -R lightdm:lightdm /var/lib/lightdm/.local/share/orca

Hope this helps.
