Web page creation and publishing with speech

I am thinking of constructing a web page. I started it at one point under Windows but I lost a few files and with me thinking of eventually migrating to Linux I abandoned it for a while. What tools would anyone suggest for me to create and uploade my page which are accessible with speech in Linux?

keystrokes for running Orca in ubuntu

When I try to boot Ubuntu with speech on the Ubuntu desktop CD I notice that I seem to get magnifyer as well. I have been having a look at the Feisty CD and it seems to work better on my desktop than the Live CD for Edgy although it does take a few attempts to start speech but I am wondering if

accessing gnucash with orca

I have just been looking at Gnucash with orca. Most of the fields seem navigable with the tab and shift tab keys and using some of the Orca keys I can do mouse clicks with it. However I have a couple of problems. One is navigating the accounts list when trying to set up sub accounts in the accoun

creating a script

How do you create a script in Ubuntu? I presume that I might need one if I decide to use both Speakup and Orca. Do you just use a standard text editor such as Nano, put the commands you want in a file and if so how do you execute that script? ___ gnome-a

a couple of things about openoffice writer

I have a couple of issues as regards Openoffice writer. When I am creating a document, if I were to make a mistake and press the Backspace key to delete it it just says "Backspace." Is this problem anything to do with my version of Orca which is the one that comes with Edgy by default or the fact

Is the problem of setting up Orca on Ubuntu Live something to do with amount of RAM which leads to some people being able to launch accessability when Ubuntu Live boots and some have to enter Ubuntu, run Orca from ALT F2, set it up that way, log out and do ALT F2 orca again to get speech workin

ubuntu packaged software

When you download a package with apt-get ie Gnucash, how do you find out where the file or files are placed? I know when I was in Dapper I tried to install Gnucash which I think I managed to download only searching for it didn't find it. Is it the case of finding the directory which contains .deb

ubuntu with speakup

One of the Linux experts at a couple of Linux groups I attend has offered to install Edgy on my Desktop. Is there a way to set up software speech with Edgy? I am not sure if I may need to give him some guidence if I want to switch between Orca and Speakup. Where is Speakup on an Edgy system? I ha

ubuntu and software synthesiser

I am hoping to upgrade Ubuntu on my laptop next week from Dapper to Edgy. I can use the default software synthesiser but I am not all that keen on it especially as one of the Linux groups I attend is in a fairly noisy pub. Could anyone suggest a suitable software synthesiser and how to install it

edgy not installing

I went to my Linux group on Monday to try and upgrade my version of Ubuntu to Edgy. However the speech didn't seem to come up when I pressed F5 followed by 3 when the boot menu came up and it seems like even trying to install without speech didn't work either. I burned the Live CD myself at home

Are there parts of the Edgy installation that are not accessable with speech? Also if I get Orca running with Ubuntu Edgy running as live, when I install it rather than run it as Live, could I set up Dectalk later and run the Orca setup and configure Orca to recognise the Dectalk software synth
