It worked, thanks a lot Eric!

I have a Chromevox icon that gives access to a web page about it and: "Options", "remove from Chromium", 
"Mask in the Chromium menu" and "Manage extensions".

Although it doesn't speak (yet), just emit sounds associated with actions like a click.

Also they say in https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromevox/kgejglhpjiefppelpmljglcjbhoiplfn
"Note: ChromeVox is still in development and currently doesn’t work in conjunction with desktop screen 
readers. In order to best use ChromeVox on your computer, you will need to disable your desktop screen reader 
when using ChromeVox."
which seems to preclude using it with also Orca enabled... I will have to investigate further to check but 
for now to answer Krishnakant if that's true then yes, Orca needs to be switched off when it is used.

Slint64-14.2.1 users can get Eric's Chromium package un-commenting this line in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc
#SOURCE=http://slackware.uk/people/alien/sbrepos/14.2/x86_64/:DEFAULT
then running:
slapt-get --add-keys
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i chromium

Then follow Eric's instructions above.

Greetings,

Didier
