I then had nothing to loose, so went to the Applications, add/remove and found ORCA, unchecked to remove it. Then I rebooted, and again checked it to reinstall it. Upon rebooting it then worked, and in the System Preferances Accessibility assistive properties there was nothing new, but in the box on the desktop for Orca screenreader preferances I got to a speech tab that now included IBM Viavoice Gnome speech driver as the speech synthesizer.
