Re: [orca-list] so cloase with xfce and orca

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Why are you hung up on them?  Perhaps, it's time to explore other
alternatives.  Have you had any luck with Sylpheed and Clausemail?
for browsers, I recently read an update that Chromevox was making
strides in usability.  It now uses speech dispatcher which allegedly
makes it easier to configure and install.  Firefox is nice but, it's
not the only browser.  Same can be said of Thunderbird.  Unless, of
course, the state of the competing e-mail clients is as inaccessible
as Evolution.

On another note, what are you using for a text editor in your setup?
Have you had any luck with Leafpad?  I tried it and ran into hitches
with getting it to read what I typed.  I had to go into orca
preferences and have ot track things like justification and
indentation (don't have the preferences dialog handy right now to be
completely accurate).  Only after I set all that stuff to on did it
read what I'd typed and it was a bit clunky besides.  This was before
all the xfce 4.10 stuff came out so, I'm hoping it works better now.
