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

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

In the past, for some reason chromevox did not work so well with chromium in many cases, skiupping lines, 
seemingly in a random manner. I had little of 
this myself. 
The other advantage that chrome had was that it allowed one to install a TTS from the webstore, now google 
play, which was good to have as even though I 
prefer espeak, speech-dispatcher did not work for me for a long time, at least a year, and then once after it 
more or less started working again it sopped 
for a while, not sure whether the issue was chromevox or chrome related. 
As I stated in one message, I've not tried chromium in a while, and perhaps all the issues are corrected.
