espeak and orca

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

The problem I have with festival is it's slow responsiveness.
Normally, I use espeak with the speech-dispatcher gnome-speech driver.
This driver doesn't support the read to end command, so I either switch
to festival when I want to read an entire document, or use the direct
speech-dispatcher backend for Orca.
