[BRLTTY] brltty speech

[Henk Abma]

Hello Dave,

as far as I can tell, firefox appears to talk to talkback and 
brailleback sort of uses the same information. When I disable talkback, 
brltty only shows the last focussed item in firefox. As soon as I load a 
new page, brltty informs me that a geckoview had opened and if the page 
is loaded, however I cannot navigate the contents of the page. As soon 
as I aneble talkback and tap places on the screen, brltty echoes the 
spoken output. Using gestures on screen I can navigate to next->previous 
link etc, however I cannot do this using brltty.

All of this may be in part because I don't memorize all of the commands 
brltty has.

I had no luck using brltty speech either. I can choose between none and 
native, however no further options appear. The only thing brltty has 
said to me so far is it's versionnumber.

I am using 5.1 b.t.w.

With kind regards,

Henk.
