Re: [orca-list] Accented letters

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Alexis:

Which version of orca are you using?  You can determine this by running 
the following command:

orca --version

The reason I ask is that we did some work for accented characters for 
the upcoming GNOME 2.28 release.
