Re: [orca-list] console based screen readers



Hello Norman,

The ability of Orca to to read aloud what's displayed on a terminal
mostly depends on which terminal is used.

So which one do you use? And which distribution/version?

Generally speaking, console based apps can benefit of console screen
readers like speakup, fenrir or speechd-up that are intended to be used
in a console, not in a graphical environment.
Their availability depends on which distribution and version you use.

However, from a quick look at the screenshots provided by the project I
am not optimistic as a lot of information are displayed on sub-windows,
including arrays between them and I don't know how a screen reader can
present this information (I am sighted).

Good luck,

Didier

Hello all.

I sometimes need to use a terminal based program called sngrep to trace voip calls from my personal pbx. 
However, orca struggles with this program, it doesn't read everything and scrolling is a big issue. I was 
wondering, are there any helpful tips people have when using orca with console based programs? or would a 
second screen reader like speakup do better at this?

I'd like to try speakup and find out but can't find any good docs on how to make it work.

Can anyone help?
