[PLUG] Linux Text to Speech

[John Karr <brainbuz@brainbuz.org>]

I have a friend who is looking for Text to Speech software. She has to 
read a lot and is having some eye problems. Her primary OS is Linux 
Mint. I tried to get Orca working on my system, but it doesn't capture 
the key bindings (It is supposed to capture INS-Numpad and 
WindowsKey-Key combinations) and all it does read menus and window 
titles which is really just annoying. It looks like Orca might work 
better with Unity. The best thing she's found on her own is some pricey 
windows software.

Anyone had success with Orca or another Text to Speech solution?
