Hi. You can use espeak as the synth with any screen reader that has speech-dispatcher support. The 2 screan readers I know of that can use speech-dispatcher are speakup and orca. Hope this helps. Kenny On Mon, Oct 30, 2006 at 09:31:24PM -0200, Cleverson wrote: Hello all First,

Hi folks. First, i'm sorry for the cross posting, but i am at a loss now, and don't know what to do and maybe if one don't know the other one will. I have a wierd problem, to say the least on my Ubuntu system (Latest Edgi, Orca from Cvs and ESpeak but it also occurrs on Festival). The problem i'm

Orca docs and support for Firefox (was Re: Too much output from Orca)

2006-10-31 Thread Willie Walker
Hi Terrence: The current support for Firefox 2 is definitely not anything I'd want to call compelling access: it kind of works, but is clunky and doesn't work well for many real world web pages. Earlier this year, we needed to make choice for focusing our efforts to web access, and both the

Hi Krister: I'm going to guess this is gnome-panel crashing. It has a very sad outlook on life and randomly kills itself when it sees an assistive technology running. When one looks at the 492 open bugs on gnome-panel, 35 of them have crash in their summary, so I'm guessing gnome-panel is doing

More Accessibility in Ubuntu DVD?

Hello, I'd like to know if there is in Ubuntu DVD a larger number of pre-configured accessibility features than in Desktop CD, namely some Screen Reader other than Orca and some Synthesiser. I'm evaluating what's the best image for me to download. If the DVD environment doesn't differ from

Hello all Thanks Gilles, Kenny and Peter for answering me. Yes, I have also found eSpeak method of managing languages straightly simple, especially when compared to other synths I knew. If Speech Dispatcher can manage eSpeak, then it's already possible to work with eSpeak under Speakup and

Hi: To follow up on this... Joanie Diggs tracked this one down to gnome-panel popping up tool tips. We've logged a bug (and checked in workaround) here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368626 The good news is that we think this workaround will prevent gnome-panel from crashing when

You are right, Will, it seems to be Gnome-panel that acts up. The problem got solved when i installed the regular, not the cvs version of Orca. Too bad, because i really loved the way the users and groups bug was solved. The only thing that didn't work, was that Orca didn't anounce the changed
