Orca is a Linux only screenreader, so far as I'm aware. Specificly, it's
only useable on the Gnome desktop for Linux. Of course, I may be
incorrect,
but that's my impression.

Hi, Orca works under unix/linux,
for an open source screenreader that
works under windows, try www.nvda-project.org.

I just got Orca working on an Arch Linux system. The installer is
console based and uses Speakup with Espeak synth. Do a bit of reading
of the Beginners Guide and it walks through what to do when installing
gnome. Be sure to install both gnome and gnome-devel and you can then
start up X from a console; then press Alt-F2, wait a few seconds and
type 'orca'. The settup dialog dialog from Orca will come up talking
using gnome-speech and Espeak. I went through that whole thing the
other day and never needed a spec of sighted assistance. It took a
quite a bit of technical comfort but doable.
Arch Linux is definitely not a "out of the box" with no effort type of
distro but it appears to be intended this way for easier
customization.

Hi, I think with archlinux, you have to boot from something with
accessibility like grml with speakup , and chroot to the cd or something,
then run the install from there. Heard this from someone over irc whose
done it.

appreciated.
ArchLinux

sorry the list is so long!

Hi,
Can please someone test the following:
On my machine, orca doesn't use dots 7/8 in braille.
Open gedidt, type some words and press shift+home
This should underline the written text.
This doesn't work for me any more but i don't know which change is
responsible.
Can someone confirm this problem?
Regards
Halim

Yes, that did the trick. A note here for any Arch users...
Be sure the package, gstreamer0.10-python is installed. I had the
rest of gstreamer installed but not the python part. I'm surprised it
wasn't a dependency of gstreamer0.10. Anyway, Orca 2.27 from
7/23/2009 works now on my Arch box.
Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction.

In Debian, it's in the python-gst0.10 package, and the description
indicates
that it's part of the GStreamer project.
Your distribution may have a package for it. If so, I hope the above
information helps you to locate that package.
