Then How do you know that the voices used by Orca hurt you, as Orca works only on Linux? Maybe other voices than the ones you tried would not hurt you? That's a speculation, I am not telling you to use another system than the one you are comfortable with. A hardware synthesizer can't be used with Orca so far, however maybe this could change in the future as Samuel Thibault wrote recently on the orca mailing list by: Le 18/01/2023 à 23:26, Samuel Thibault wrote : > Al Sten-Clanton, le mer. 18 janv. 2023 14:42:56 -0500, a ecrit: >> Is there a way to use Orca with either the TripleTalk LT or DecTalk >> Express?

Al uses the ones he mentioned on Slint and maybe other Linux distributions. If you indicate the brand and model of the hard synthesizer(s) you use, we could check if they can be handled by a speakup driver on linux. But only if you are interested, of course.
