Hello. My name is James and I have just joined ths list. I hope I will learn a lot and hopefully contribute in time. Am I correct in thinking that there is a software synthesizer for Speak UP and that you can have both Speak Up and Orca running on the same system? If so, how would I go about installing Speak Up in Ubuntu and does this mean that I could have speech at start up and in every part of Linux with both Screen Readers? Thanks James
