in the orca screen reader, the only voices that show up are the default voice and whatever voice you have set in viavoice.conf. However, the only voice I have successfully gotten to work when changing the voice in viavoice.conf is voice number 7, which is labeled as grandpa but actually uses grandma, the voice right below it. I'm using orca version 49.5, ans speech-dispatcher 0.12.0. This is a feature request, not a bug, although it likely needs code changes. Using any of the other voice numbers will fall back to the default voice, even though the voice successfully shows up in orca's voice selection combo box. Example, you switch to voice 4, which is male 3, a male 3 option will show up in orca's voice selection but if you choose it, it defaults to waid, the default viavoice voice. The only exception is voice number 7.
