Gnome-Orca

Gnome-Orca Screenreader
this page is a work-in-progress


 * This is a buggy program. The main issues I have encountered are:
 * 1) Orca stops talking from time to time. It seems random.
 * 2) When composing an e-mail in certain programs (thunderbird, yahoo), certain letters (t,h,i,u,o,q,...) do not show up. We fixed this problem by selecting a preference in thunderbird to convert everything to plain text. This seems to have solved the problem.
 * 3) Orca does not read pdf documents the same way it reads an email, webpage, or text document.
