Hi, Also, it may be worth sticking with chromium 34 cause 35 seems to be crap. Storm On Sun, Jun 15, 2014 at 04:08:22PM -0500, Kendell wrote:
speech-dispatcher support in chromium is broken? works fine here. All you need to do is add the --enable-speech-dispatcher flag when launching chromium. IF you want to make this permanent, try copying /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/ and opening the file in nano or your favorite editor. Go down to the exec line and after /usr/bin/chromium, type space, followed by --enable-speech-dispatcher. Save and close, and voila. It works again. Every time you start chromium you'll get a nag about you're using an unsupported command line flag, and you're not as secure. I assume this is a nag to get you to install the google tts voices, who knew google would stoop to this. On 06/15/2014 12:17 PM, B. Henry wrote:Just an update. On this slow system I can be working in aprox 5 seconds. It appears to take fluxbox about 2s before I can successfully press my shortcut for launching orca. I'll try getting orca to auto launch next, but at anyrate assumng nothing cpu intensive is going on anywhere else it takes orca about 3 seconds to say screenreader on after the shortcut is pressed. Still no luck on the list of aps I mentioned before. So, with no feedback in runbox terminals or filemanagers it's a bit uncomfortable for those like myself who like feedback along the way, and when you don't remember a file's exact name...lol. For sure the ticket for jumping on a voip ap quickly, or firing up firefox. BTW, google-chrome browser with chromevox works, but the google-tts engines that one is forced to use these days since speech-dispatcher support was broken don't sound very good compared with when I run chrome from a full on desktop. Still looking for any ideas on getting orca to work with other programs that work on gnome, mate, etc. gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled true has been done for some time here, so that isn't the problem. -- B.H.

Finally I have gotten around to trying fluxbox, and it certainly works well most of the time when it works,, e.g. firefox performs better than it does on the Desktop invironments I've tried; and instead of waiting 20 seconds before I hear screenreader on as is the case with Mate or XFCE Orca's ready to go in 10 secs or less. (and I can't start workin the instant I hear orca on the full featured desktops either as stuff is still loading) Anyway, several programs do not show Orca what it needs it seems, programs that are normally accessible with no issues. No terminal emulator has worked for me yet, pidgin also isn't showing me anything, and neither caja nor pcmanfm "talk" to me. Rhythmbox, mangler, mumble, teamtalk client, and a few others are working very well so far. Has anyone figured anything out to improve interaction between fuxbox and orca, or orca and any of these troublesome aps when using fluxbox? Thanks in advance for any ideas._______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Visit http://live.gnome.org/Orca for more information on Orca.
