[orca-list] First impressions of 9.10

["James & Nash" <james austin1984 googlemail com>]

Hi everyone,

I have installed Ubuntu as a Dual Boot with Windows XP. I had a few  
false starts, i.e. Ubuntu started, but no cigar with Orca. Anyway, it  
finally started, but I've also noticed the latency and choppy issues  
that others have mentioned. I have considered removing Pulseaudio, but  
it is more tightly integrated with Ubuntu this time around and  
apparently will break certain functions if removed. Also, I have  
noticed that on occasion, Orca will sound as if it is echoing and at  
the same time sound as if it is using two voices. Has anyone else had  
this?

My other impressions are Ubuntu related so I will post them to the  
relevant list, however, when I Alt Tabbed through some open  
applications, it would not speak. I decided to check what the visuals  
were set to and discovered that by default, 9.10 appears to default to  
Normal. When I changed it back to None, the Alt Tab spoke again.

Anyway, that's all for now folks.
