Using the word "replace" for the switch is not poor English and is precise. If you really just wanted to restart Orca, you wouldn't need a command line switch at all. Here's what the "replace" switch does, taken from the Orca man page:


       *--replace*
              Replace a currently running*orca*  process.  By default, if*orca*  detects an  existing
              *orca*   process  for  the  same  session, it will not start a new*orca*  process.  This
              option will kill and cleanup after any existing*orca*  process and then start  a  new
              *orca*  in its place.

I guess you're telling me that mate installs an executable called
screen-reader? A very questionable naming, imo, given that we have
several in the Linux ecosystem.

And, if the -- need is to restart the screen-reader, why is the switch
not --restart. Saying --replace is poor language use--poor English, to
be more precise.

It forces a restart of screen-reader after screen-reader is shut down.

Interesting, What does:

screen-reader --replace

do? Please explain.

First install the mate-extra group.  Next after you start mate, hit f4
just once.  Then try running screen-reader --replace <enter> and see
what happens.  That f4 key toggles accessibility on and off so only hit
it once and that should help.

Subject: Orca does not speak

Hello everyone,. I finally have maid installed on my arch system. It looks different than ubuntu Nate because it does not have many applications on it. The major problem I am having is that orca does not speak. Espeakup in the command line works but as soon as I go into Nate orca although turned on does not work. Anyone have ideas in how to fix it.

An help would be appreciated.



Sincerely,

Michael maslo
