Re: [orca-list] orca and wine?

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

Unfortunately, Orca doesn't speak apps running under Wine for technical 
reasons having to do with the toolkit being used to render the windows 
and their contents.

I also tried myself to run NVDA under Wine to try to get it to speak 
other Wine apps, but at this point, it's a no-go. All I get is a window 
with a title that says "errors occurred", and the explanation is 
unreadable by Orca. Nothing even shows up in the terminal window where I 
ran it. At this point, it seems we are stuck with Windows in a 
VirtualBox if we need to run the occasional Windows app, with the 
exception of some self-voicing games that I have found work without too 
much trouble. These games can be found at

Note that you will also want to install the Windows version of eSpeak to 
make these work, since the last time I tried to install the Microsoft 
SAPI5 voices, for some reason, they didn't install properly and gave no 
speech.
