Quoting Scott Ferguson : If it's not possible to make screen read the default rather than an "opt-in via click" I'd call that a bug. I didn't try in any other way. Now it is on, so I'm happy :~) Yes, but one has to configure it explicitly, as it does not respect the global setting. Keyboard

How to use Orca speech output in Libreoffice?

Hi, I'm new to Orca, but have to set it up for a friend. I'm using stable with Orca 3.4.2-2. When using Iceweasel (24.3.0esr-1~deb7u1), Orca talks to me, e.g. reads selected text and reads most (but not all!) menu entries. Also, I can press the magic "Orca modifier" (here: CAPSLOCK) to get the c
