Bill, A few years ago two students from NC State build a "Remote Access Bridge" that does essential what you describe. It connected a special gnome-speech driver to TTS running on the local machine, and thus enabled Orca (or LSR) to be run via VNC. I don't know what happened to that work...

When I try running Orca in a VNC session, it exits with the following message: bill> cat foo Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/orca/orca.py", line 1747, in main init(pyatspi.Registry) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/orca/orca.py", line 1266, in init registry.registerEventListener(_onChildrenChanged, File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyatspi/registry.py", line 331, in __getattribute__ raise RuntimeError('Could not find or activate registry') RuntimeError: Could not find or activate registry Does anyone know what I need to do to get Orca running in a VNC session?
