Hello,
Let's start saying that I'm pretty new to this wonderful operating system that is ubuntu. Being blind, I have been using Orca since release 6.10 Edgy, and have since upgraded as time went by.ò
But I have a problem now, with hardy: orca seems really sluggish. I'm using espeak, but the speech is really irresponsive, to the point of frustration. My machine isn't that bad either, it's a 3.2 ghz pentium 4 with 1 gig of ddr ram in it.
The problem is only present with speech, infact with braille everything works as expected.
Today a strange fact happened too. I was trying to view a site in firefox. Orca quitted automatically, I re-launched it and..surprise? everything worked fine. But when I logged back in the problem came again.
What can I do?
Regards
Tom
