[orca-list] Chromium/chrome__was:Re: fluxbox accessibility

A friendly suggestion,(besides remembering about subject changes...lol(and yes I'm a bit guilty as I sent out 
one reply 
with out remembering this)), while not a problem for most people it's probably best not to sign list mail. 
p c y will remove auto-signing and or encryption with mutt and send the message. 
My problem is that those keystrokes are in my muscle memory so strongly now that I remove sigs from a lot of 
messages I'd 
like to havesigned...lol
Anyway, yes, you are correct that at least for chrome 35 is where my issues with speech-dispatcher became 
unfixable. I 
think they started with 34, but do not hold me to that please. I'm considering rolling back to get 
speech-dispatcher ack, 
but will try chromium first.

Hi,
Also, it may be worth sticking with chromium 34 cause 35 seems to be crap.

speech-dispatcher support in chromium is broken? works fine here. All
you need to do is add the --enable-speech-dispatcher flag when launching
chromium. IF you want to make this permanent, try copying
/usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/
and opening the file in nano or your favorite editor. Go down to the
exec line and after /usr/bin/chromium, type space, followed by
--enable-speech-dispatcher. Save and close, and voila. It works again.
Every time you start chromium you'll get a nag about you're using an
unsupported command line flag, and you're not as secure. I assume this
is a nag to get you to install the google tts voices, who knew google
would stoop to this.

Just an update.
On this slow system I can be working in aprox 5 seconds. It appears to take fluxbox about 2s before I can 
successfully
press my shortcut for launching orca. I'll try getting orca to auto launch next, but at anyrate assumng 
nothing cpu
intensive is going on anywhere else it takes orca about 3 seconds to say screenreader on after the 
shortcut is pressed.
Still no luck on the list of aps I mentioned before. So, with no feedback in runbox terminals or 
filemanagers it's a bit
uncomfortable for those like myself who like feedback along the way, and when you don't remember a file's 
exact
name...lol. For sure the ticket for jumping on a voip ap quickly, or firing up firefox.
BTW, google-chrome browser with chromevox works, but the google-tts engines that one is forced to use 
these days since
speech-dispatcher support was broken don't sound very good compared with when I run chrome from a full on 
desktop.
Still looking for any ideas on getting orca to work with other programs that work on gnome, mate, etc.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled true
has been done for some time here, so that isn't the problem.

I am always looking for how to speed things up on my netbook, and generally am interested in helping 
those who can't come
by the latest and greatest hardware to have a productive accessible Linux experience. Finally I have 
gotten around to
trying fluxbox, and it certainly works well most of the time when it works,, e.g. firefox performs 
better than it does on
the Desktop invironments I've tried; and instead of waiting 20 seconds before I hear screenreader on as 
is the case with
Mate or XFCE Orca's ready to go in 10 secs or less. (and I can't start workin the instant I hear orca on 
the full featured
desktops either as stuff is still loading)
Anyway, several programs do not show Orca what it needs it seems, programs that are normally accessible 
with no issues. No
terminal emulator has worked for me yet, pidgin also isn't showing me anything, and neither caja nor 
pcmanfm "talk" to me.
Rhythmbox, mangler, mumble, teamtalk client, and a few others are working very well so far.
Has anyone figured anything out to improve interaction between fuxbox and orca, or orca and any of these 
troublesome aps
when using fluxbox?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
