Subject: Raspberry Pi's Raspbian now supports Orca screen reader. (fwd)
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 17:01:36 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.2002141658530.32308@server2.shellworld.net> (raw)
Can anyone confirm this working first hand?
If so, what sorts of applications are possible, and are there voice
choices for Orca?
The Raspberry Pi team reached out to an accessibility charity known as
AbilityNet to help evaluate the Raspberry Pi desktop environment for
improvements. Raspbian now supports Orca screen reader. Orca is compatible with
most applications that use GTK or Qt toolkits. Other toolkits aren't compatible
and may or may not work. You can also find a new pixel doubling feature in the
Raspberry Pi Configuration menu, improving screen visibility for visually
impaired persons.
