Re: [orca-list] Programatically detecting if Orca is running

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

Put another way, how does/will Chrome know that 
--force-renderer-accessibility isn't necessary and that a screen reader 
is running? I promise it won't be by grepping the process table for 
"orca" or looking for config files (no offense to those who suggested 
either, but my point is that there's probably an API in place for this 
and I'm hoping for a pointer to it.)


Thanks.
