Good afternoon all,
This question might be better sooted for the accessibility list, but
seeing that I don't seem to be getting help there I thought I would
bring it up here. First off, I am an orca user in the gui, but use
espeakup in or fenrir in the concel. I find that booting the officael
iso, there is no easy way to boot up with speech. For example, in
debian, at the boot prompt, pressing S will bring up the installer with
speech and you can follow the prompts in the text installer which uses
espeakup. Could something simlar be done for gentoo? My work around
has been to use another linux distro iso. I.E ubuntu to do the install
following the wiki, but seening there is no way to get speech after,
that is whare I fall short. The other problem is that if trying to
install accessibility packages like orca, there seems to be alot of
problems with conflicks with flags and dependencies. For example, when
installikng orca, it complans that espeak and espeak-ng can not be
installed at the same time. What is strange is that espeak is not even
installed at this point. Installing espeak-ng installs without a
problem. Perhaps this is a bug that perhaps is unreported. Perhaps an
accessibility profile could be created for this. Thanks and hope that
this is something that can be looked at. The wiki doesn't have much in
the way of accessibility in particular installing. Thanks again.
