Re: [orca-list] audacity and orca



I did try flat review, but not the f7 which I will try later.

Thanks much.

I wonder if audacity is using one of qt5 libraries?

Hi John.

If memory serves me, audacity has a number of custom widgets which are
not accessible (they don't expose any information to Orca). There's a
chance the help content is in one of those. The fact that you found a
panel (the default role for Gtk+ widgets) with nothing inside it hints
that this may be the case. I'll add looking at this to my to-do list.
But if this is an inaccessible custom widget, there won't be anything I
can change in Orca to fix it.

That said, it may be that the panel has text and the text is accessible.
Have you tried flat review? And have you tried pressing F7 when that
panel has focus? If you have and those have failed, Chrys has created a
stand-alone tool to OCR screen contents. I don't have the link and
details handy, but someone here probably does.

Hi.  I was trying to use audacity and orca using orca master from  June
20 2016 and I am having some problems.  I want to read the manual, but
all I can see if I go to the help menu and either use the quick help or
the manual button is a close button, what looks like a back and forward
button using < and > and panel, but no actual text.  Am I doing
something wrong, or does audacity work with orca?  I can see some menus,
I have not tried to open a file yet.

Any assistance would be appreciated here.
