Re: [orca-list] Speaking Login Prompt



Hi Pete:

This is known as "Accessible Login" -- for some reason, it's tricky to keep it working from release to release of GNOME. It typically works well on OpenSolaris, but can even break there from time to time.

After you've enabled it, you can launch Orca at the login prompt as described here:

http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/nightly/sysadmin-30.html.en

The typical operating procedure is this:

1) Enable a sound to be played when the login prompt appears
2) Type the keystroke (press and hold Ctrl+s for more than a second)
3) Login

If it doesn't work on your system, you need to log a bug with the OS distribution since accessible login failure is often (not always) a problem with accessibility integration from the OS distribution.

Is there any way to have Orca speak the login prompt?

Currently, Orca will start if I log in, but it would be nice if Orca spoke prior to login.

Thanks.
