After doing some investigation, I have discovered that my system does not inllude the package python-speechd which according to the speech-dispatcher / orca document I ws reading is required.
The kali repositories only contain python3-speechd which I have installed, but still I get no speech with spd-say. I ran spd-conf to create a speech.conf file, and selected a system-wide configuration wit hespeak, and libao. I restarted speech-dispatcher from /etc/init.d but still no success. I am at a bit of a loss at this point, so any other suggestions would be welcome. -----Original Message----- From: Jason White [mailto:ja...@jasonjgw.net] Sent: Monday, August 29, 2016 5:11 AM To: orca-l...@gnome.org Subject: Re: [orca-list] no speech with orca and mate desktop Don Raikes <don.rai...@oracle.com> wrote: > I altered /etc/speech-dispatcher/speech.conf to have the audiooutput = > "libao" instead of "pulse". And restarted speech-dispatcher with no success. Under eihter configuraiton (Pulse or libao) does spd-say work? This is a good way to test Speech-Dispatcher independently of Orca. _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-l...@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
