Re: [orca-list] Why feedback of Orca in OS Linux is Annoyingly slower than NVDA in OS Windows? What Should I do for it?

[Shadyar Khodayari <shadyar81 gmail com>]

I do not use VM also I do not run Linux from flash or dvd. I have
installed it. often eg. when I use flat review to read word by word on
a web page - Firefox, Orca  interrupts for about one or two seconds
before responding. On general windows Orca does not read characters
correctly when using flat review char by char.
