I’m actually surprised they haven’t made this a little easier since I messed with it back on Ubuntu 13.04, or something like that. Getting chrome vox installed is tricky at best when you have no site. The way I’ve been able to do it most successfully is to install chrome, download and enable the extension on windows or Mac OS, and when I’m signed in on Ubuntu, the extension is already downloaded and enabled for me. You still however, have to be able to sign in. I hope that helps a little bit. Another thing, you may want to remap the chrome box keys, which are normally control plus alt, to something like caps lock or something. Control alt in a lot of scenarios is used to switch workplaces.Guy Sent from my iPhone
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.

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.
