Hello Jace,

Sorry about the long lines, eventually I'll figure out what fmt recognizes
as a beginning of a paragraph and then format better.
Cut here.
For blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx and other linux screen reader users.
For this to be of any use, you need a google account and
you also need to have downloaded youtube-viewer. You need to have orca
working since this can't be done using command line interface, firefox
or similar will have to be run. I use mate so use mate-terminal and I
use ex for a text editor.
1) bring up graphical environment and have orca talking,
2) alt-f2 and type mate-terminal <enter>
3) type youtube-viewer <enter>
3.1) inside of youtube-viewer type :login <enter>
3.2) type alt-e to get to edit in mate-terminal
3.3) You'll be on select-all, so hit <enter>
3.4) hit alt-e to get to edit in mate-terminal again
3.5) you'll be on copy so hit <enter>
3.6) hit alt-f in mate-terminal
3.7) you'll be on open-mate-terminal so hit <enter>
4) type ex surf <enter>
4.1) type $a <enter> to put ex into append mode
4.2) type alt-e in mate-terminal and down arrow to paste and hit enter
4.3) if what you read inside of youtube-viewer appears again, you did it right so hit <enter>
4.4) type a period on a line by itself to stop append mode and get a colon prompt back in ex
4.5) type x followed by <enter> to close surf and save your work
4.6) type grep google surf >surf.txt <enter> to grab that url
4.7) ex surf.txt <enter>
4.8) type .,.s/** Get authentication code: // <enter>
4.9) the line should now just have the url on it and if so,
5.0) type x <enter> to save your work.
6) type alt-f2 then type firefox <enter>
6.1) type alt-f to open firefox files menu and move down to open file which will be o and hit <enter>
6.2) type $HOME/surf.txt <enter>
6.3) type ctrl-a ctrl-c ctrl-l ctrl-v <enter>
6.4) this should get you to a google page where you log in
6.5) a button to allow youtube-viewer access to your account will be on that page
6.6) click that button and a success code will appear
6.7) tab on the page until you get to the copy button and hit <enter>
6.8) hit control-c inside of firefox and copy the code
6.9) hit alt-f and up arrow to quit on firefox menu and hit <enter>
7) type alt-f for mate-terminal menu and move to close window and hit <enter>
8) if your youtube-viewerscreen shows up again with you in the field where you enter the code
9) type alt-e for mate-terminal menu and move down to paste and hit <enter>
9.1) hit <enter> one more time and the code should have been sent
9.2) if you get a prompt remember me y/n)? hit y then hit <enter>
(
9.3) your youtube-viewer screen should return to what it was before you typed :login
10) check your e-mail for a message from google telling you youtube-viewer was granted access to your google account
10.1) if you got that message, you did it right.
10.2) that login token will be on your machine until you run :logout in youtube-viewer
10.3) you should now be able to comment on videos you find and listen to with youtube-viewer using youtube-viewer.
