[Kde-accessibility] Information about orca

[Kristoffer Gustafsson]

    Hello!

How is it with via voice in these days?

The liast I heard was about one and a half year ago, when there was a 
discution on how to get via voice to work with newer operating systems than 
redhat 8.
Have anybody gotten this to work, or is there another way to obtain viavoice 
for linux?
