Re: [orca-list] How to write extension for ibus input method?

Hi Cameron.

I'll keep trying to reproduce the crash. Regarding this:

So to be sure I understand what you're saying, the descriptions are not
anywhere in speech dispatcher's code or in the code of the synthesizer
you are using. Instead, they are in a local file that only you have. Is
that correct?

And are your descriptions something standard that all blind,
speech-output-using readers of Chinese characters would recognize? Or
are they something you came up with, but are not standardized anywhere?

I'm interested in knowing these things because I'd like to see
accessible Chinese input available for all Chinese Linux users who are
blind. How much of that belongs in speech-dispatcher versus Orca, I
don't know. But if we can figure it all out, wouldn't that be cool? :)

Thanks again for all your help and patience on getting this right!
