i spent the entire day looking for what WAS in ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10, but must have changed with 11.*. it has a config panel when the program began that let you set things such as you mention: pitch, rate, volume, ... but this program is no longer available. I installed a bunch of what i thought might be helpful tools, and now when i run VBC, I get the following warnings: ** (gvim:22552): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply.

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. AFAIK, I did not install any accessibility packages. Same with libgail. do you know what's going on? or anybody else onlist? also, i didn't do anything to gvim---note the "(gvim 22552):" above. gary > > Regards! > > [1]: http://live.gnome.org/Orca > > -- > Javier Hernández Antúnez > <jhernan...@emergya.com> -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Voice By Computer (for Universal Access): http:/www.thought.org/vbc The 8.57a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org Twenty-five years of service to the Unix community. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
