orca(1) General Commands Manual orca(1) NAME
orca - is a scriptable screen reader and magnifier SYNOPSIS
orca [option...] DESCRIPTION
orca is a screen reader for people with visual impairments, it provides alternative access to the desktop by using speech synthesis, braille, and magnification. In addition, orca only provides access to applications/toolkits that support the assistive technology service provide interface (AT-SPI), which include GTK, Mozilla, Firefox, Evolution, OpenOffice, StarOffice, Java/Swing, etc. WARNING: suspending orca, e.g. by pressing Control-Z, from an AT-SPI enabled shell (such as gnome-terminal), can also suspend the desktop until Orca is killed. OPTIONS
-s, --setup, --gui-setup When starting orca, bring up the GUI configuration dialog. -t, --text-setup When starting orca, initiate the text-based configuration. -n, --no-setup When starting orca, force the application to be started without configuration, even though it might have needed it. This is useful when starting orca via something like gdm. -u, --user-prefs-dir=dirname When starting orca, use dirname as an alternate directory for the user preferences. -e, --enable=speech|braille|braille-monitor|magnifier|main-window When starting orca, force the enabling of the supplied options. -d, --disable=speech|braille|braille-monitor|magnifier|main-window When starting orca, force the disabling of the supplied options. -l, --list-apps Prints the names of all the currently running applications. This is used primarily for debugging purposes to see if orca can talk to the accessibility infrastructure. Note that if orca is already running, this will not kill the other orca process. It will just list the currently running applications, and you will see orca listed twice: once for the existing orca and once for this instance. --debug Enables debug output for orca and sends all debug output to a file with a name of the form 'debug-YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS.out' in the current directory. The YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS portion will be replaced with the current date and time. --debug-file=filename Enables debug output for orca and sends all debug output to the given filename. -v, --version outputs orca version number and exits. -?, -h, --help displays orca help and exits. --replace Replace a currently running orca process. By default, if orca detects an existing orca process for the same session, it will not start a new orca process. This option will kill and cleanup after any existing orca process and then start a new orca in its place. -q, --quit Kill and cleanup after any existing Orca process. KEYBOARD SETTINGS
Orca provides two keyboard modes, Desktop and Laptop keyboard layout. The Orca_Modifier key is Insert in desktop keyboard layout and Caps_Lock in laptop keyboard layout.
