You may not be able to have Orca and Speakup talking through espeak at the same time. You will probably be able to simply kill your Speakup process in order to switch to Orca, then restart it when back in the console. This annoying workaround is what I currently do with TTSynth, and I noticed similar issues with espeak when I tried it the other day. Obviously, I'm assuming you're trying to use both Speakup and Orca. My apologies if my memory serves me poorly on this. PS: Love that Latin voice in espeak! Now, can we get Gnome menus in Latin? <grin> : I'm aware of the hacks intedned to allow multiple processes to play sound--but this doesn't cover the dual screen reader use case in my experience. Perhaps others are getting better results? Janina > Greetings, > > I have to part with my braille display for a couple of days. In order to > function during that time, I'll have to rely on speech.
