Hey Willie, If I remember correctly, we dealt with this situation in outSPOKEN for Windows with an overridden version of "shutup" that recognized the situation of streaming output into a terminal window, and suppressed all further speech output only from that window. The moment the user typed something else, this "shutup" would be lifted until the next time the user hit the "shutup" key. A useful modification to this would be to recognize the terminal prompt, and say something like "done" when that appears alone on the last line of output (and since outSPOKEN didn't have scripting support, we weren't in a good position to attempt that modification). Regards, Peter Korn Accessibility Architect, Sun Microsystems, Inc. I can reproduce this by doing a "find /" in gnome-terminal. What's happening is that Orca is reading output as it goes flying by. To avoid this, you can do things such as: 1) Redirect the output to a file 2) Minimize the offending window 3) Give focus to another window (Alt+Tab) 4) Disable speech (Insert+s) before doing a command you know will produce lots of output. Insert+s again will re-enable speech. Dealing with this in more automatic creative ways may be a challenge, since we don't really know how much output we're going to get from these kinds of commands. People also want to get presentation of one and two-line output, so we cannot just always disable speech. I'd like to hear what ideas people have for how we might address this.

This is on Ubuntu Hardy RC. Haven't seen it outside of gnome-terminal but I haven't been using Orca that long. Is there anything that can be done to stop it happening?
