Hi,
I cud get orca to start up and have configured it. But it is not able to read any page which is open in the evince document reader. The key binding for "reading entire document" is KP_add. I wonder what that means. Can anybody help?. Orca is only able to read menus or echo typed characters, words etc and that too is hardly heard (voice is cut).
Regards, Kussh

Orca reads every thing for me. I use ubuntu 9.04 and all works well. I for example not just get to read the full text of an openoffice wordprocessor, but also get to know the font attributes like bold italics and size, etc.
spreadsheets also work abslutely fine.
I use pdf2text or pdf2html depending on whether formatting information is of any interest to me. Right now evince is not accessible because the evince guys are not really into lot of accessibility, although they are showing some active interest into it off late.
Else all works absolutely fine.
happy hacking. Krishnakant.

Was any work on accessibility of Evince done during the recent Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Release Party/CAMPStudio pad.ma overview,according to the plan set forth by KK during the MumPy meet at CAMPStudio?No minutes are available on the wiki.
