Re: [orca-list] Google sheets on Ubuntu

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hello,

you could try the ChromeVox extension of chromium.

I don't think there be an Ubuntu package for it, but try this:
1. Install Chromium
2. type these commands using sudo for each
mkdir /usr/lib/chromium-browser/extensions
cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser/extensions
wget http://the-brannons.com/kgejglhpjiefppelpmljglcjbhoiplfn.json
Then edit the file /etc/chromium-browser/default
At the end of the file write:
export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --enable-speech-synthesis --enable-speech-dispatcher"

At next start of chromium you should hear chromium speak.

By default to open the options page the ChromeVox shortcut is Shift+Tab.

> From this page you can choose a voice as you would in Orca.

Default shortcuts:
http://www.chromevox.com/keyboard_shortcuts.html

Caveat: it works on Slint and I just assume that it works on Ubuntu.
To know which files to deal with on Ubuntu I have read this page: 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/chromium-browser/filelist

Hope this helps,

Didier
