Re: [orca-list] firefox and audio playback in linux?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

I'm going to do a modification on the espeak voices directory and see if
that doesn't straighten chromium out.  I don't expect it will work
though.  The modification I did I wrote Didier about earlier was to move
everything in /usr/share/speech-dispatcher/locales into
/usr/share/speech-dispatcher/locales/foreign and then move out directory
 for desired language into /usr/share/speech-dispatcher/locales.
Two possibilities for chromium and google chrome would be better than
what's being done now from an accessibility stand-point.  Either honor
the system's language default or, ask a question in each of the
languages and when an affirmative response is returned to do you
understand this language spoken in that language set that language as
the browser default.  I have membership on
accessibility googlegroups com so will take this matter up on that list
too.
