Subject: Orca or EmacSpeak
Hello,
I am new to Linux and am having some trouble getting to learn the OS due
to the Orca screen reader. I will start off by letting you know I am on a
Mac book running Mountain Lion. I am running ubuntu 1204 in VMware fusion.
To this point I am only able to preform commands which do not require the
Orca modifier key. I read that the Orca modifier key is the "insert" key,
but Mac does not have an "insert" key. I have read several different posts
of people describing a few key commands which simulate the insert key but
none have worked for me. I also was told I can set my Orca configuration
to "laptop" and then the "caps lock" key will act as the modifier, and yet
again I am unable to do this.
Now to the question at hand. Does anyone have some experience with this
issue who can help me get it working? If not can someone please let me
know if EmacSpeak is a better option for linux? I have read lots of good
things about emacSpeak but honestly have no idea how to switch from Orca
to emacSpeak. I am not bias to either screen reader I am just looking to
learn linux well enough to write some programs, use the terminal, and call
it a familiar OS. I would greatly appreciate any help.
