Re: [orca-list] orca with pulse audio

[Todor Fassl <fassl tod gmail com>]

Possibly, you are experiencing the problem mentioned on the debian wiki. 
Here is what it says:

"It can happen that you end up in a inadequately accessible GNOME 3 
session. For instance, if you press  alt+f1 for the menu, nothing is 
spoken. This has to do with the not-yet well accessible GNOME shell."

It then goes on to explain what to do about the problem. It didn't work 
for me though.
