Stuttering speech is a known issue on the Raspberry Pi with stock ALSA and espeakup. You can Google the Raspberry VI website and mailing list for more information, but the owner of Raspberry VI has produced a fork of espeakup called piespeakup that bypasses the issues with the ALSA drivers by rendering speech using the Pi's GPU. Running Orca with a desktop still requires a dedicated sound adaptor, but piespeakup can give you working console speech from boot without stutter. If you want to give it a try, ssh into a newly imaged Pi and do the following: git clone https://github.com/cromarty/ttsprojects.git cd ttsprojects/raspberrypi/libilctts sudo make sudo make install cd ../piespeakup sudo ./build.sh Using a jessie-lite image, the only dependencies you need to install first is git, and you only need that to clone the remote repository. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
