[yast-devel] Integrating Orca screen reader in to the openSUSE installer
Good evening. Could you integrate Orca into the openSUSE installer? Because I am blind and I would like to install openSUSE independently. cordially Kacper Gorski -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Good evening.
Could you integrate Orca into the openSUSE installer?
Because I am blind and I would like to install openSUSE independently.

Hi Kacper, I think in past it somehow worked ( I never try it ). I expect you are more experienced than we, so do you have idea what needs to be done to integrate it? I do not think that it makes it as common feature sponsored by SUSE, but it is option for hackweek project or as GSOC project ( you miss deadline for this year by few weeks ) and for it we need to have idea what needs to be done and also if you can define expected usage ( like having hardcoded shortcut that start screen reader, no mouse usage, only keyboard shortcuts and such requirements ), so we can test it properly.

Josef, I can't imagine how you could expect a blind person to do all you ask independently (as he asked). A developer could emulate the problem by wearing a blindfold and trying installation himself. At least being able to see he could rescue himself as often as needed by tipping up the blindfold to discover what is needed.
