Hi, IMO, I think that debian accessibility needs to be updated as the way you do it in bookworm is done in the matter you described. That is with sudo apt install orca espeak-ng speech-dispatcher brltty -t bookworm-backports. Inother words , you would just run the apt install command targeting bookworm-obackports to get the latest packages. BTW I think that dirring install, backports should ready be enabled and if using accessibility, the accessibility statck should be pulled in by default dirring install using the install with speech option anywayy.

I did upgrade Orca 43 to 47 using the Bookworm backports by doing `apt-get install -t bookworm-backports orca`. I'm not seeing any issues by having done so or missing dependencies. What is the/is there a recommended way to upgrade Orca from backports on Bookworm? [1] https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility#Upgrading_the_Assistive_Technology_At_Spi -- John Doe -- John Doe
