This can be found in the orca control panel under its own tab.

I know that I asked yesterday for information on how to kill speakup, and for the most part that works as expected. However, I find that somehow Speakup seems to still be intercepting my keyboard commands in some cases. I want to use Orca's laptop layout: a requirement because I don't have a keypad. It uses the capslock key for some of it's functions, the same as speakup. > Any advice here? When I built my kernel I didn't compile Speakup as a module, primarily because I wanted to get speech at boot as soon as possible. Should I perhaps go the modular route here? > Thanks, > Zack. >
