Re: chromium orca accessibility
It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I used option #2, installing from the Google PPA, on the following web page http://ubuntuportal.com/2014/04/how-to-install-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr.html I used the Chrome web store to instal ChromeVox and the default female TTS from Google. I needed sighted assistance to do this originally. On 17/03/16 09:55, Jude DaShiell wrote: How did you get those installed? google keeps redirecting me to chromium.

Re: chromium orca accessibility
Last I heard, chromium was not working with the google TTSs at all. As chrome isworking with speech-dispatcher again maybe chromium is working with sd again also. It did not work as well as chrome back when it could be used with chromevox and speech-dispatcher, but was usable for me. Others found it much buggier. Chrome isstill a better choice as far as I know. You canjust download and install and repos will be enabled as well. Then make an extensions directory in /opt/google/chrome/ and copy a file I'll attach there. then start chrome with the --enable-speech-dispatcher option, and a while later hopefully chromevox will install and you will get speech. I think chromevox actually installs with voices now, but as I've had my configuration synced for years now I do not know exactly what new installers get. Try starting chrome normally with out the option and see if you get the female voice. Those voice files are probably large, so the download might take a while on slower connections, so be pasient and or ask some one to take a look and see if things appear to be installing. Once you do have chrome talking log in and make sure your configuration is going to sync/think extension syncing is default, but I'm not sure. Then all you will need is someone to tell you where the username and pw fields are if you install chrome on another box. -- B.H.
