Hello Simon
That was a pretty fast response.
On the Web site I think there is now a page which I wrote about how to
get Orca running in Raspbian Lite with the Mate desktop and a USB sound
dongle.
And of course we have speakup running with my audio code.
And I'm about to start writing an Emacspeak server to use the same code.
So stuff going on.

Hello folks
I notice over the last couple of days we have at least two new members
on the list.
I guess that may indicate that there have been some Raspberry Pi
computers left in a few Christmas stockings.
So, welcome to new joiners.
On either Friday or Saturday this list will be four years old, and the
Web site was first set up in about the following February.
I keep meaning to take a look and see how many members we have now.
Over the last ten days or so I have been working to change the OMX audio
code library which I wrote to fix the stuttering TTS with espeak, and
the piespeakup fork of espeakup, to use autoconf and automake instead of
static Makefiles.
The work is almost complete and when I have fully tested it both the
library and the connector will be downloadable from the Web site as:
ilctts-1.0.0.tar.gz
piespeakup-1.0.0.tar.gz
I may even put them up on Sourceforge, although I have never done that
before.
One of the things I intend to document is how to switch the language
used by espeak and I'll be looking for non-English speakers, or at least
folks who use their Pi with the language set to other than English to
test this. I think there is also a way to get automake to install
different documentation depending on what the language is currently set to.
Happy hacking in 2017.
Mike
