Re: [orca-list] Having trouble getting orca to read my webpages

Thanks for your help José!

It seems like the problem was that I needed to restart Firefox while orca was running. Now orca is reading me my pages. Yay!

For now Orca and Chromium are not friends, only FF would work.

But I can't imagine a reason why the orca doesn't read the page.

Questions?

1. Orca is muted on any page including for example the google page?

2. Are you using the mouse or keyboard?

3. What version of orca and FF?

4. If you restart orca does the problem persist?

5. Is remote access to these pages possible?

Thanks.

Hi, there. I'm a sighted web developer new to orca and accessibility. I'm trying to get orca to read my web pages and help me with accessibility testing.

When I enable orca in my system preferences, it speaks various things to me as I switch windows and enter different applications. This is good.

However, as soon as I make firefox or chromium my active application, orca doesn't seem to want to speak to me anymore. It's stays quiet as I navigate around, even if I've enabled caret nav in firefox. As soon as I alt-tab, orca starts speaking again.

Any tips for how to get orca to start speaking websites to me?

I'm running Debian Buster w/ GNOME.

Thank you!
