Re: [orca-list] wine and orca

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

It is not useful for what you want to do, but for the record you can use self-voicing programs with wine. 
This will let 
one play some games, and there are probably a few other uses, types of software,  that I've not thought of 
that are 
self-voicing and do not require the navigation in menus and such that one might wish to try and run in wine. 
I've never done the configuration required to get this to work, but know of folks who have. I think Storm 
Dragon has an 
old blog post on the subject on his website. 
Go to http://stormdragon.us/
and do a search. It'll probably be tagged with Linux, games, not sure what else. The article was originally 
uploaded at 
least 3 years ago I think.
