Details
Description:
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Install_Arch_Linux_with_accessibility_options, `espeakup` is required for accessibility TTS and in fact, Orca's text output does not work without it. However, this is not listed as a dependency and consequently not installed, and also quite annoying to debug if you're new to this. Hope this is the right place to suggest so, but I think it should be added as a dependency. The other big feature of Orca, braille (did not test), is provided by `brltty`, but that's already listed as a dependency. Additional info: * 43.0-1 Steps to reproduce: - |

Thanks for reporting. But I think "espeak-ng" is already deemed an
indirect optional dependency of orca. It's confusing because the
optional dependency is actually listed against "speech-dispatcher"
which is a direct dependency of orca. The wiki page you linked to
is about the installation ISO which is a console-only environment
where "espeakup" is definitely required. Anyway, I've copied in
@alex19EP who is knowledgeable about accessibility in Arch.
@alex19EP, do you think we should change anything here?
Ok, I'm interpreting the lack of response from @alex19EP to mean
that no action is required here.
