Re: [orca-list] hud is speaking

I have the same experience.
Good to have this working with Orca.
This gives me another reason to stick to precise for at least one more year.
Happy hacking.

I'm not sure exactly what, but I got it mostly working after installing
something from the proposed PPA shortly after Precise was released.
Initially, it didn't seem to be working completely for me though. For
example, I'd be in a message in Thunderbird, I'd type "move", I'd arrow
down to one of the options, press enter and nothing would happen except
the HUD dialog would go away. I just tried it again though, and it does
seem to be working. Pretty cool!

nice. That is basically what the HUD does, it scoops up everything in 
the menu of the current application and lets you type stuff and it 
presents the top 5 matches, if you select one it does the same as 
navigating to that menu option would have done. There are some concept 
designs of it doing more stuff in the future (like presenting bits of 
dialog boxes or other controls) and it has been pointed out to the 
relevant people that accessibility should be designed into that.
