Re: [orca-list] orca silent on skype and vlc media player

[Amir <trend669953 gmail com>]

Hi,
i reinstallled my ubuntu 14.04 today and found that orca cannot speak 
when inside qt apps such as skype and vlc. When i did sudo apt-get 
instal qt-at-spi it said it is at latest version. i also added the ppa, 
ppa:vinux/trusty and performed sudo apt-get update before. still, vlc is 
silent as wel as skype. is there anything i can do? running orca 3.14.2 
on gnome 3.12.2
yes, gnome 3.12 and orca 3.14.
