Hi debian-accessibility,

I am setting up orca to use festival voices.

So far, and after installing the packages: festival,
festival-freebsoft-utils, some festvox- packages and
speech-dispatcher-festival I seem to have to run "festival --server" in
order to list and use festival in the orca setup.

I'd like to avoid having to run "festival --server". I thought of
setting up a systemd user unit to try to run automatically for the user.

Is there another better / recommended way?

I plan to document the steps in, at least:
https://wiki.debian.org/Orca#Orca_voices (unless I missed something
specific in my configuration)

Thanks very much!
