Dear users, If You will enable button in The Orca preferences menu for enable braille support, Orca will work with Your braille display, if Your model is supported by Brltty. To enable Brltty support, run Gnome-terminal and type sudo brltty.
Then Orca should support your braille display. Brltty is not automatically started during booting up to A live CD. If somebody of us is also suffering because of strange error dialog box while intensively working with Espeak and Ubuntu live CD, I Am recommending You to install Speechdispatcher as soon as possible when you will install Ubuntu on to harddisk. Do not use Espeak, try to use Festival database rather. Or use some commercial modules, such as IBM synthesizers or module, which is developed by a development team of Oralux project. Oralux WEB site contained after more than 8 months free version of Gnu/Linux based on Knoppix and with several console oriented screen readers, such as Speakup or yasr. Emacs has been also included. But now, The developers are selling module for Gnome for accessing several speech synthesizers. I did not chance to compare their module with Speechdispatcher. Speechdispatcher is working very reliably, only with Espeak is causing error. Espeak is causing random crashes in Linux, it is not important, if users are using Espeak driver for Gnome, or if Screen Reader is using Speechdispatcher for controlling Espeak. It is very strange, because Espeak is working very reliably aand stably in Windows XP, it sapi5 variants is not causing problems. So The cause is probably inside audio subsystems in Linux. But probably only programmer, who is familiar with Assembler can solve so complex issue. But also users could help by sending error reports. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
