Thank you for the information. In addition, I was wondering if it was |
2 |
possible, either directly or indirectly, to enable Orca on a live CD. I |
3 |
assume no, given what I've been reading, at which point I'll have to attempt |
4 |
the good old fashion SSH access to the CD. Mostly, I want to be able to have |
5 |
a look at things before I actually go through the process of installing it, |
6 |
to make sure it'll be able to guess at most/all of my box's hardware. |

Hi James, |
18 |
|
19 |
In the latest versions of the gnome-speech package, the speech synthesizer |
20 |
it uses is selected by setting the appropriate local use flag. It supports |
21 |
espeak by default, festival and freetts. Eloquence |
22 |
(TTSynth) is not supported officially because it is not free and also |
23 |
because it uses very old glibc and hasn't been updated in a very long time. |
24 |
|
25 |
To set up to support festival, for example, do this: |
26 |
|
27 |
echo app-accessibility/gnome-speech -espeak -freetts festival >> |
28 |
/etc/portage/package.keywords |
29 |
|
30 |
The two lines above should be on one line. This should also prevent espeak |
31 |
being pulled in as a dependency. |
32 |
|
33 |
Let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions. |
34 |
|
35 |
Thanks, |
36 |
