Hi Martin, I am not speech-dispatcher specialist but yes, orca uses speech-dispatcher. But when you are switching to command-line interface it should be able to handle fenrir or other clients, because you stop using orca at this time. Furthermore, the speech-dispatcher is a server application so it should handle more than one client at the same time. OK, orca doesn't disconnects from speech-dispatcher when you switch to terminal but still, it is a server. Can someone else confirm or deny it?
