Re: [orca-list] Using Gnucash with Orca

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hi Ishe,

Reminder: to fetch, build and install homebank using the scripts @
https://slackbuilds.org, type as root:

slapt-src -u
slapt-src -i homebank

ref.:
https://slint.fr/doc/HandBook.html#Get_additional_applications

then you can start it typing in a graphical terminal:
homebank
or select it from the Application menu in the Office category.

I just did that, the GUI seems accessible with speech.

Cheers,
Didier
