Re: [orca-list] Installing Chrome/Chromevox



Hi Chris,

Try this out

  • I assume you have google-chrome installed (I have no luck with chromium, but others might have different result)
  • Copy paste the following code and run from terminal
  • It should open chrome web store for chromevox
  • Wait about 5 s or so, then press Tab 3 times and Enter. That should press Add to chrome button
  • Then tab once and press Enter, that should press "Install Button"
  • You should hear chromevox speaking by now

Hope that helps

Oh, believe me. I'm not doubting you. I'm simply saying I had no luck finding it. I'll look again though.. If anyone however wants to beat me to it, and can post the steps that would be great, but don't worry. I'm not lazy. I'll keep digging as well in the mingtime.

You might need to look a little harder or change your search strategy. When I installed it in Ubuntu 17, I found guides that walked me through setting up Chromevox in Chrome.. Trust me, it is there somewhere.

Actually, Andy, I googled, and though I found steps for installing Chrome and Chromevox, the problem is, for us blind users, since Orca doesn't read anything in Chrome short of the menu bar, if even that, don't recall, it makes signing in, and downloading/activating the Chromevox extension impossible in the traditional way of getting things working as the articles from google seem to be suggesting by opening Chrome, signing into your google account, going to extensions, searching for Chromevox, and adding/activating it.


I've been unsuccessful at finding specifics through Google on deploying this task from a blind Orca standpoint.

I'm using Ubuntu. Can someone please give me step by step exactly the instructions to install Google chrome and get it up and talking with Chromevox? I should be fine with the browser once I get it up and running, as I'm pretty familiar with how Chromevox works. I just need to know how to get it up and running to start with.


Thanks.


Chris.
