Try here:
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech
"If you still cannot make test-speech talk, it's probably time to jot
down any errors you might be seeing and ask us for help."
mailto:orca-list at gnome.org

Did you try the help links that I provided you previously?

Also try: System|Help|Assistive Tools and search on braille.
In the brltty man page it states:

<quote>
USB
For a USB device, specify usb:.
brltty will search for the first USB device which
matches the braille display driver being used.
If this is inadequate, e.g. if you have more than one USB braille
display which requires the same driver,
then you can refine the device specification
by appending the serial number of the display to it, e.g.
usb:12345.
N.B.:
The "identification by serial number" feature doesn't work for some
models because some manufacturers
either don't set the USB serial number descriptor at all
or do set it but not to a unique value.


A comma-delimited list of braille devices may be specified.
If this is done then autodetection is performed on each listed device in
sequence.
This feature is particularly useful if you have
a braille display with more than one interrface,
e.g. both a serial and a USB port.
