Re: [orca-list] OT: Orbit Reader questions

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Does support need to be explicitly added for *Orca*, though? brltty is 
mentioned in the docs as being supported under Android, and there's an 
emulation mode that can be used until explicit support is added, albeit 
sacrificing a couple cells.


And I'm still unclear as to whether continuous read works in standalone 
mode, since I can imagine many cases where I'd just want to read 
something on the display without fumbling with a phone or another 
device. If continuous read isn't supported, how big of a deal is it to 
manually advance the display? Significant annoyance, or something you 
start doing subconsciously after a bit of practice?


Thanks.
