Re: [orca-list] Ascii and unicode values?



Hi,

on the desktop layout, press keypad 2 3 times.

To find a list of keystrokes that orca support, you can either look in 
the orca preferences, or press your orca key + double h.

Hope this helps.

Hello List,

This is my first ever post on this list, and I am only inquiring
about linux. I am not inquiring about any specific distribution. As
long as Orca will work in the kernel of the distribution. I am an
amateur linguist. I have a BA in Spanish. Languages are my life. I
haven't played very much with linux, although Chris Gilland has
helped me substantially. How does Orca do with Unicode as a whole?
I'm not talking about how Speech-Dispatcher or Gnome-Speech, though
way outdated, passes the Unicode value through to specific voices;
rather, I speak of how Unicode is done in Orca. Is there a key
binding that I can press that will announce the ASCII/Unicode value
for a character? For example, the Arabic letter (phonetically
pronounced "yeh") is Decimal value 0610. This is crucial, as if I am
not using an Arabic voice and I encounter an Arabic character, I
won't know what I'm seeing.

On a final and separate note, what does TTY stand for and mean when
speaking of a bash terminal?

I hope to become more fluent at this different OS, namely Linux, and
I hope to help the flow of information with yall in the future,
possibly contributing to the Linux project.

Subject: [orca-list] Ascii and unicode values?


OK, so I know that num pad 2 desktop=say character | twice=say
phinetically if character=letter, and I also know on the laptop
that command is capslock comma, but is there not a way to get the
ascii or unicode value of a character that your flat review sits
on?  I have a friend who's really into languages who is trying to
figure this out. I thought for sure I remembered doing this on
accident once, but God shoot me, if I remembered how I did it, and
I don't think I was dreaming I did this, or, was I?  This is
something we really need to implement, if it's not there and I
awswsure you that my friend will write the list with his opinion
on this and advicate for what I am saying.  That is the only
reason he's not convert3ed, but I'll let you all hear it from him
directly.

Chris.
