Re: Orca testing...

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hey Cody:

I'm not a Fedora Core 5 beta tester or user, so I'm not sure.  We've  
been developing Orca on Solaris and Ubuntu lately and are having  
relatively good success with the GNOME 2.14 bits, which I believe  
will be making their way into the soon-to-be-released updates of  
Ubuntu and Fedora.

Orca can currently talk to emacspeak and gnome-speech drivers for  
speech.  I know there is an eloquence driver for gnome-speech, but I  
don't have the eloquence SDK, so I've never been able to verify that  
the eloquence driver works or not.  If you have the eloquence SDK and  
are willing to hack, you might try building gnome-speech with the  
eloquence driver and then checking to see if it actually works using  
the gnome-speech /usr/bin/test-speech application.  If the eloquence  
driver works, then it should work fine with Orca.

Please remember that Orca is still pre-beta.  We have a lot of work  
to do with it, including the development of a configuration GUI to  
make it easier to set the various settable parameters, including  
selection of the speech system.

Hope this helps,

Will
