Re: [orca-list] Skype, google-chrome, chromevox, and orca.



That's far from the latest version of Orca, given that 3.28 implies GNOME 3.28, which was 18 months ago at least.


I'd recommend just using web.skype.com and the extension unless you're prepared to build from Orca master, which is necessary for stable Chrome support. And that's a lot of hoops to jump through just to use Skype.

Greetings,

I am using orca-3.28.0 and Google Chrome 79.0.3945.79.

As for Skype and Firefox compatibility, I added the extension
recommended. It does seem now to allow use of Firefox, but I still
haven't figured out how to exactly navigate things with orca.

So what version of chromium do I need for orca to work -- I assume I
need orca master?

Thanks.

What version of orca and chrome did you try?

The latest versions of orca and chrome / chromium have good
accessibility. There are some flags that need to be passed to
chrome at the time of execution to enable accessibility.

I can't talk much about skype in the browser because I never used it.

There were some pidgin plugins that made it possible to send and
receive text messages via skype. I don't know if they would be of
any help.

Greetings,

I am a user of ubuntu-18.04. I must take a job interview via skype in
exactly one month. I have been trying to get skype working but with no
success thus far. At the moment, I am totally lost and would
appreciate ANY detailed help. I tried installing the latest version of
skypeforlinux, but orca stops speaking from the very first screen. I
tried using skype from the website but was informed that firefox is
not a supported browser. So I installed the latest .deb file of
google-chrome (as searches seem to yield that chromium would not be
optimal) and discovered again that orca does not automatically work
with google-chrome. Now I would like to install chromevox, but I have
found no clear-cut and recent directions on how to do this. And do I
understand correctly that chromevox, once installed, is supposed to
work in tandem with orca? Again, any help would be MOST appreciated!

Thank you very much.
