using orca (getting started)

using orca (getting started)

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello,
I'd like to get going with orca on debian. I can get the gnome and x server 
when I apt-get install orca, it's a dependency, but I'm not quite sure what 
to do, to make orca start up, or to jump to orca after I somehow start x.
Ideas would be great.


Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

Hello Tyler,

When your in x do alt+f2 and type in orca.
You will be asked to choice the language, voice, speech server, etc... 
just listen to the prompts and you will be fine. When selecting your 
language/voice to use for orca that can be a lenghthy process since you 
will have to hear all the voices. You can useually make your choices and 
press enter and wait a bit until it moves on to the next prompt. 
Alternatively you can use orca -t in the console to set up orca if you 
don't want ot set it up in x.
See the orca website for getting started with orca.
http://live.gnome.org/orca
If you click on configuration/use, you will land in a heading describing 
how to use orca and some links to use gnome along with orca keyboard 
commands.
