Re: [orca-list] audio ducking, good feature to have?

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
Makes sense. One feature I'm excitedly waiting for is for orca to
generate a speech dispatcher configuration so that apps that use
speech-dispatcher can use orca's settings without having to support orca
directly. I don't understand why nvda's requirement is for windows 8 or
later, but I suspect it uses some feature that only exists in those
versions. And there I'll leave it. I don't want to start a windows
versus linux debate.

Thanks
Kendell Clark
