I just messed around with f13 to get gnome-speech running well. I know for speech-dispatcher to run you must install speech-dispatcher and I don't remember the exact name of the other program but it is something like speech-dispatcher-python or it is python-speech-dispatcher once you have these two installed then you had to configure speech-dispatcher for it to be the default. You would do this by going into the terminal and typing spdconf this would start the configuring of speech-dispatcher. This is where I had the problem I don't remember the exact problem but since I could not finish this process I could not change the orca settings to use speech-dispatcher in the orca menu. If you didn't finish the set up speech-dispatcher doesn't show up in the orca menu. hope this helps a little. I download f14 and will install it over the weekend in a virtual machine and can let you know what I can do. Thanks again for all the work. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
