Re: [orca-list] ssh (x11)

Here is a sort of fix for speech:

It is possible to get python speech-dispatcher bindings to contact a 
remote speech-dispatcher server. You do it by setting some environment 
variables (sorry can't remember what they are off hand). So if the ssh 
server can make outgoing connections and your local machine can recieve 
incoming connections on the speech-dispatcher port, you could set the 
environment variable in your account on the server to point to your 
local machine and use speech-dispatcher in orca.

I don't know whether such a method could be used for brltty.

I know it has limitations and you may need to create a script to 
automatically work out your IP address if you use dhcp or different 
machines for your local computer, but it might do some of what you want.

Personally I use ssh from the command line with speakup and brltty.
