From hanke at brailcom.org Tue Jan 23 14:38:28 2018 From: hanke at brailcom.org (Hynek Hanke) Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 15:38:28 +0100 Subject: Speech Dispatcher moves to GitHub under a new maintainer Message-ID: Dear all, we are pleased to let you know that the Speech Dispatcher project which is a common high-level interface to speech synthesis was now moved to a new repository on GitHub. This brings easier code review capabilities, smoother contribution process and convenient issue tracking on a platform that is already very well known to many. We hope this will make it easier for others to contribute to its development and we invite everyone interested to cooperate. The new repository is: https://github.com/brailcom/speechd Bugs can be reported and suggestions can be provided at: https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/issues Also speechd-el, the Emacs speech and Braille output interface, as well as a few other projects related to Speech Dispatcher were moved to GitHub: https://github.com/brailcom/ As some of you already know, the Speech Dispatcher project has also recently changed its maintainer. The new leader of the project is now Samuel Thibault. We would like to use this opportunity to repeat our many thanks to Luke Yelavich who worked in this important role previously and to wish to Samuel and the Speech Dispatcher project all the best for the future. Hynek Hanke & the team from BRAILCOM,o.p.s.

Under either mate or Ubuntu Default orca comes up and works with my braille display in some circumstances but there is no speech. It does not work with even my braille display under firefox. The only oddity I see in syslog or other places is the following line.

Orca is now working everywhere but firefox. Not sure what is happening with that. Turns out something was not working in the sound system and a reboot fixed it.

Are you also running Thunderbird? Is Thunderbird working fine for you? If you restart Firefox is it still lacking accessibility support?

I don't normally run thunderbird as I use alpine for email but thunderbird does work. When I bring up firefox there is no speech and no braille.
