Re: [orca-list] Antergos the next Arch alternative which works

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

OK, did not know that someone had built a special chromium  package with chrome vox enabled. 
Perhaps it is different now as far a sperformance goes. 
Back when I was testing and comparing chrome to chromium I found chrome better on average, but did not 
experience the major skipping of lines and other 
issues reported by many other chromium users.
As far as I know you are still limited to using speech-dispatcher, i.e. no google tts voices. I prefer using 
espeak on my laptop because of low volume and 
lack of clarity with the generally better sounding google tts voices, but it has been broken a couple times 
over the last few years, and unstable at other 
times. 
Someone who has consistently tried and tested, and when possible used chromium can speak to whether this 
tracks  between chrome and chromium or not 
perhaps. 
I kept chromium installed on a machine for a couple of years, but it did not work for the last half of that 
time, and I've not bothered to mess with it 
again other than one quick test that was not accesible, but that was some time ago, can't remember if it was 
before or after chrome started working most of 
the time with speech-dispatcher again. 
I'll take a look at the AUR package and see how it goes I reckon, but wonder if it has an issue that chrome 
has had when using speech-dispatcher and 
espeak, voice changes on the main system. It stays changed as I recall even after killing chrome, and for 
sure did not keep using the desired voice even if 
I went in and set it back in orca prefs. 
I did not try everything I can imagine to work around that bug, but at best it required a work around, and 
likely one could not use the same voice/variiant 
with chrome and orca.
