Hello Chrys,

thanks for responding, and of course thanks for the the software you provide!

I just tried to build python-tesseract, mostly reusing the SLKBUILD

I wanted to attach the build log, for what it's worth, but it's too big for this
list, so I send it to you at linux-a11y dot org.

Cheers,

Didier

The sound issue I’ve found is that with eSpeak, speech is not stopped instantly when interrupted with either new speech or the control key, and sound effects, if played quickly, do not play one at a time. Also, the Mate desktop seems to be rather slow, like after launching a program that requires my password to run, Orca freezes.
