Re: [orca-list] Script to interact with Orca

[Joanmarie Diggs <jdiggs igalia com>]

Orca should announce anything with the accessible role of notification in response to a state-showing event. This could be accomplished via using a platform notification library or by creating the accessible object in your app and firing the accessibility event. Note that Orca doesn't (in theory) care if the thing is actually displayed on screen.

If your project is web based, ARIA live regions should work.

Orca doesn't have an API through which apps can make it do stuff. Sorry! But you could send things to speech-dispatcher.

HTH.

Hi,

I'm contributor of a conferencing project, currently we are working to a TTS system for program notifications.

We found a way to do this on Windows (with Tolk library) and on MacOS (with Apple scripts), but we found nothing to interact with Orca.

There is any way to send a message to Orca and request him to say it?

Thanks in advance.
