He can't write and speak english, but he can understand a bit. Now I will translate there his question. Thanks. Best regards Vojta. Greetings, I would like to ask somethink. I have Raspbian which I've installed from console version. I can't remember steps, my friend helped me and I couldn't write commands. I didn't have phone with loud call. We rewrote some files, I don't know which files and Orca speaks to Alsa. Other sounds run to Pulseaudio. System sounds are in Alsa too, I found this, because when external sound card is joined, pulse works in external sound card and Alsa works in internal sound card. My question: I would like to set Orca speak to Alsa in ubuntu. If it will work, I musn't use external sound card. Thanks for your help. Best regards Libor.

Warning! this bug is only in Raspberry Pi, not in PC. In PC there is not any problem with Voxin. Steps to reproduce: 1. Switch to Voxin. 2. Write in Pluma for example Mozilla Firefox. The result: it clicks twice in the word Mozilla and not in word Firefox. Expected resuld: it may click in all two words Mozilla Firefox, not onli in the word Mozilla. I've tried with czech voices, I don't have any english voices, so I don't know, if bug is with them too or with other languages. The bug of clicking with Espeak: 1. Switch to Espeak-cs. 2. Write in Pluma Od Libora It means from Libor. It clicks only in the word Od and in the word Libora not. This is on PC and Raspberry too. In Voxin on PC the bug doesn't exist. All bugs are in Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian and Stormux, it's not depend on used operating system. I will send this to Ubuntu and Raspberry forum too to inform so many people what is possible. Be safe and take care. Thanks a lot. Best regards Vojta.

As I am most comfortable with a terminal, here is one of numerous ways to install orca with its dependencies. Launch a terminal or find a virtual console and when you have a command prompt, type: sudo apt install orca If you get apt not found then use sudo apt-get instead install orca It should list what will be downloaded and an estimate of size of storage needed and a question if you wish to continue, type y and press ENTER. Hoping all things are ready for using a screen reader then it may be as simple as rebooting or turning orca on in the GUI. Sadly, these details vary quite a bit across brands of GUI and distributions. Hope this helps, and if not quite right then look at the documentation for the system you will be using.
