hi
This is way, way over my head. Sigh, and I thought this wouldn't be
too difficult. Is there any reason why you can't import orca modules
directly? It's python code, so should be straightforward.

I cannot write c code, and experience has shown me no one else here
will do it, so if I can't figure this out this might not happen. I
basically want orca to speak. If I have to use dbus, I can, but c or
c++ is way out of my skillset
Thanks

Hello, Well I am afraid this is not as easy as it originally
appears. If you are about to access and use orca functionality from
other projects you can't import orca modules. Probably the most
linux like approach would be writing a dbus interface in orca and a
small library preferably coded in pure C interfacing to orca
through dbus.

I think this might be considered translating what NVDA and NVDA 
controller library do on Windows to use linux specific technologies
for the same task.

Greetings

hi all I'm just now beginning work on what I hope might eventually
become part of orca, a shared library for applications to speak
through orca. I need help though. I haven't gotten much further
then the comments at the moment. I've been browsing through the
orca code, and I can't figure out how to load orca's user settings
and tell orca to speak. I want this library to be able to speak in
whatever rate, pitch, voice, etc the user has set up. Yes I can use
speech-dispatcher to do this but the point is to have orca do it,
so it's more ... not sure what the word is, seemless? You don't
have voxin speaking and suddenly espeak breaks in with a friend
logging in or a new email, etc. Can an orca developer or someone
who knows orca reply back? I don't expect the code written for me,
but I don't know which files to import, and how to load orca's user
settings. If I can figure that out, then I can just call
speech.speak(message). I think that's it, I may have to look at the
code again. I'm writing this for the tintin alteraeon pack, but if
it gets good enough I eventually want this to be a shared library, 
that any application can use to speak through orca. I haven't 
forgotten about the progress bar beeps either. That's turning out
to be harder than I thought, I'm still trying to figure out how to
do it. Does anyone know which files handle the progress bars? I've
looked in a couple of places that sounded likely, speech.py,
event_manager.py, but no luck so far. Any help would really be
appreciated, I just need some pointers. Thanks
