Hello, I'm trying to get orca going on two gentoo boxes. I got one going, and not sure how. The problem was possibly muted audio, which was solved. Muted audio is not the issue here. On both boxes i run orca --text-setup from a terminal, one gives me speech feedback and it's first question is to select the speech server. If i select gnome-speech that's where it ends, the verbal feedback stops although the program isstill continuing, i have to select speech-dispatcher, not sure why this is. On the secont machine running orca --text-setup takes me past the select default speech server and directly to the select default voice option, and no audio feedback. The second machine does not have speech-dispatcher on it as the first one does. Both machines have the accessibility USE flag set in /etc/make.conf. The machine that's working, using speech-dispatcher is running the default profile, while the other is running the desktop/gnome profile. Suggestions welcome. Some urgency! Thanks. Dave.
