Bonjour, Jean-Philippe. Your project is an excellent one. I have found that MATE is easier on RAM and system resources than GNOME but has many of the features of old GNOME 2.0 that many of us liked. There was a bad problem a while ago that crippled espeak when ORCA had been started in X-Windows session, but I have heard that it has been fixed. My work around is to use speakup and speechd-up with speech-dispatcher on console command line and use the magnifier alone in X Windows. I have not tested to see if it is now possible to run ORCA and console TTS.
