Re: Overlapping speech with brltty and espeak-ng again

[am_dxer]

I was able to reproduce this as well when using RC4 of the Debian
Installer for Stretch when using the s option from the boot menu. I
found that I was not always able to interrupt speech with a keyboard
command. When the speech finally stopped, it seemed to repeat different
parts of the phrase. Its quite hard to describe. When i go back to the
rc3 version of the stretch installer, speech does not overlap.

Just a small update:

I packaged the 3.0 version of jodconverter, taken from [0]. This is
currently only availabe locally, i will try to check if everything works
as expected before i push it into the repo.

I am now also able to build natbraille-2.2rc1 against the new
jodconverter package. Natbraille seems to work, as far as i can see. (My
french is not very good, btw.)

There are another, probably newer versions on github, eg [1] which seems
to be more active concerning development, OTOH it features a different
package base name and also misses some classes. So i think it is ok to
use this version, because it it currently only used by natbraille.

I also contacted Vivien for the source of natbraille-soffice-1.0-.. jar
file, and we are getting closer.

Another issue is the saxon9* stuff from the /lib dir vs the saxonb libs
packages for debian - i found the patches in natbraille 2.0rc3 and will
incorporate them.

So just a small update.

Regards,

The version of libreoffice that is in the Debian repo doesn't seem to work with 
orca 3.22.  How do I get a version that does?  This is a huge problem.


I've answered you on the orca-list.

If you want a more recent release of LibreOffice you can use the 
backport version that is 5.2.6 right now.


For details about backports you can take look at this :
