Hi Matthew, Sorry for my late reply. I will give this a try and see if it works or not. I have been able to use Orca on a daily base like I can create documents using Openoffice Writer, Evolution for email, Firefox for browsing the web and so. I am using Espeak as the TTS and BRLTTY. However, some programs like administrative tools cannot be run from the menu you have to run them in a terminal and you have to run Orca as root. I am not an expert on this, still learning. I have to use Windows but I try to use Linux more and more. Using Window-Eyes. Orca is getting better and better from my view. All the best and thanks, Christian On 2007-12-27 at 23:44 Matthew Tylee Atkinson wrote:
