Re: Forky installer speakup does not work after installation but orca does

Hi, Yes I meant the console works much better with speakup then orca 
does in the terminal as I get lots of text from previous screens and 
when using speakup in the console only it reads very cleanly and not so 
scattered.  I prefer when I use the shell to use speakup rather then 
orca so yes the console is what I meant to say does not work in the 
Forky installation but orca does.  Nick Gawronski
