Re: Efficiently using terminal with screenreader

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



You can't use Speakup (not to be confused with Espeak) in a graphical environment at all, only in a console. Speakup is a console screen reader, Espeak is one of the TTS engines (with associated voices) that can be used with Orca.

Further as your question is actually about Orca, you could get more answers posting in the Orca mailing list.
In case you didn't come across it, here is a link:

This is great to hear. So can I run both Espeak and Orca at the same time or will I need to close orca when I want to open the terminal and use espeakup?


Thank you,

Hi,

To be perfectly honest, I recommend using Speakup for good terminal support. Orca is rather sub-par in this regard, and Speakup was designed to fully support command-line output from the start.
Best,
Zack.

Hello,

I’m having trouble efficiently accessing outputs from terminal in Orca. I need a fully functioning screen reader, is there an easy way to navigate line by line of output from terminal in espeakup or orca?

Thank you,

-Reece
