how do I change the voice of orca

I found a great voice on Cepstral website how would I go about putting a voice from there, into orca and getting it to work?

According to: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech

If you run Debian or Ubuntu, you just buy and install a voice,
apt-get install gnome-speech-swift, switch Orca to use your new
voice, and enjoy.

Cepstral Swift is supported with speech-dispatcher using the
generic module. You can get a swift-generic.conf file from:
http://hittsjunk.net/swift-generic.conf

that did not work I need better step by step. this is what happened when I did the first step.

oem@freekbox:~$ tar -xvf Capstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0.tar cd Capstral_Allson_i386-linex_5.1.0./install.sh
tar: Capstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

I am running Unbuntu

If the file isn't in $HOME then you will need to change directory to where you stored it

ok you are losing me I am new to this stuff so please bare with me. its a folder on my desktop I have a ome and an old-home. where do I put it to store it?

Then you need to run:

cd ~/Desktop

first. You ran the command in ~ which is NOT where the file is

I have no clue what your are saying to do. this is what happened again

oem@freekbox:~$ cd ~/Desktop
oem@freekbox:~/Desktop$ tar -xvf Capstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0.tar cd Capstral_Allson_i386-linex_5.1.0./install.sh
tar: Capstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

can I put the file somewhere to get it to run?

and this page it off line right now
http://hittsjunk.net/swift-generic.conf

Can you give the output of:

ls -la ~/Desktop

Thanks

oem@freekbox:~$ ls -la ~/Desktop

cd ~/Desktop/Cepstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0; ls

What is output?

oem@freekbox:~$ cd ~/Desktop/Cepstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0; ls
bin doc etc eula.txt examples include install.sh lib sfx voices
oem@freekbox:~/Desktop/Cepstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0$

ok then run:

chmod +x ~/Desktop/Cepstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0/install.sh; ~/Desktop/Cepstral_Allison_i386-linux_5.1.0/install.sh

And it will run

were do find that?

I found it I thought it was free crap. is there a place that has free voices?

 so back to the first question

I have tried to change the voice to a girls voice it the preferences and get a voice that sounds like Steven Hawkens how can I change it to a voice that is easier to lesson to. then when I turn off my computer it goes back to the first voice. I see in the software center there are a lot of things to pick from but I don't know what I would need

why wont it change?

when I go into the orca preferences, then speech and try to change to any of the voices there they don't change it stays the same voice. when I pick Festival nothing happens it goes quite, hope this info helps. I thank you for all you time.

I got the voice to change not shore how but I did. now when it read a page the voice gets slower and slower till it stops.

I got the voice to change
