Hi, Do you use espeakup or speechd-up, or some hardware synthesizer? If you use espeakup or speechd-up, kill all instances and start it from the graphical terminal with sudo. Then, switch to some text console and log in - you probably won't have speech on the login prompt. -- Best wishes, Zahari Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Mon, Jul 31, 2017 at 01:53:38PM -0500 > I'm using Orca on Ubuntu MATE.
