When run in graphical mode, Emacs is not accessible to the Orca screen reader. Ie, Orca cannot read the text in Emacs. One has to run "emacs -nw" in eg a gnome-terminal to get things to work.

I found this bug report pretty confusing, too, but the request is for Emacs to support the Orca screen reader, which is a Gnome thing. To do this, Emacs has to implement a Gnome API: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/introduction.html.en The report states that "emacs -nw" works fine -- but according to some experimentation, that seems to be because Terminal (the Gnome xterm-a-like) supports Orca. Emacs itself doesn't support Orca at all. I know nothing about these things, so I wonder: Is Orca used much? Are there other competing screen-reader APIs that would be better to focus on? Is Orca more convenient to use than Emacspeak? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

We run around and act silly on top of it, and when we die, may our remnants grace its ongoing incrementation. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
