If you don't start orca is speakup speaking?
Yes, Speakup speaks under the text console (CTRL+ALT+F1 etc). Orca does not speak under the MATE desktop.
It looks like it's the pulse audio bug back again.
Yes that is my conclusion also. I thought that this particular bug had been squashed years ago
Basically, if orca is speaking, speakup won't speak!!! :)
The only way i have managed to achieve is by setting speechd.conf to use ALSA, but I do not want to have to reset speechd.conf each time I want to s between the two Screen Readers. Is there a better way?
