Re: [orca-list] Thoughts on the new table cell/row reading options?

hi
Ouch. You've got me there. I'll take the new API. Does it exist yet, or
is this something that needs to be developed? And yeah, lagginess in
lists is something I bring up, particularly the espeak varientt list.
I'm not complaining, just using the largest list I can think of off the
top of my head, which should get fixed once a proper varient API shows
up in speech-dispatcher.
Thanks
