Re: [orca-list] Debain: how to get orca talking

[Øyvind Lode <oyvind lode gmail com>]

Hi again,

I don't have speech at the graphical login screen.
I enter my username and hit tab and enter my password and hit enter.
Orca then greets me with screen reader on.

Why is not orca talking when entering log in credentials?

Thanks,

Øyvind
