Re: [orca-list] installing and using wine

[Thomas Ward <thomasward1978 gmail com>]

Hi Andy,

At this point in time there is no way to use Windows applications with
Orca via wine. In other words, you can not install Microsoft Office
and expect to use it with Orca, because there is no accessibility
framework in place for Orca to use Windows apps under wine. The only
Windows applications that we can use with wine are self-voicing apps
that relie on Sapi or similar self-voicing feedback.
