Re: [orca-list] Do I always need a graphical server/interface?

[Clinton Waterbury <cl9ton gmail com>]

If you wanted to run a stricly command line system, you would need 
something like speakup for that.
As far as orca is concerned, you do need a graphical server with gnome 
or another desktop manager to run it.
I'm not sure about the audio recording stuff, as I haven't messed with 
that, but I hope I've answered at least one of your questions.
