Public bug reported:
On the "Key Echo" tab of Orca's preferences is a check box to "enable echo by
sentence". On Ubuntu Mate 16.04, which used Orca 3.18.2, checking this box
caused Orca to be able to speak typed sentences as soon as space was pressed
after typing a punctuation mark to complete a sentence.
Sometime after this, and still in Orca 3.28.0 as well as Orca 3.29.3, checking
the "enable echo by sentence" option doesn't speak sentences when they're
completed.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a text editor such as Pluma Text Editor or Libreoffice Writer.
2. With "Enable Echo By Sentence" enabled, type a sentence in the document and
press space.
Expected result: Orca speaks each sentence as it is completed and space is
pressed.
Actual result: Orca does not read the sentence and, if no other key echo
options have been checked, Orca remains silent.
I use this option a lot especially when taking notes, as for me it's the
equivalent of how sighted users can look at what they've just written
and make any corrections.
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any fixes you
may be able to provide.
Sincerely,
Brandon Tyson
