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
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.
Thanks
Josef

Hello.
As far as I know, the openSUSE installer never includes a screen
reader.
All I know is that for example some live CD's of openSUSE 11 and 12
proposed, at startup options to press the F9 key on the keyboard to
launch the screen reader. Debian, for example, also offers
assistive technology for installation, including the famous screen
reader.
But as I have a preference for openSUSE, it would be nice to
integrate assistive technologies into the openSUSE installer for
people with disabilities.
If the goal of openSUSE is to target everyone, beginners experiment
them etc, so handicaps them too?
cordially
Kacper Gorski
it is openSUSE goal, but also openSUSE is not perpetum mobile.
Someone have to do the work. So you do not need to convince me that
it is useful feature. As I said I do not think that SUSE will sponsor
such work, but it can be done as side project by community or by SUSE
as part of hackweek. But for that goal I need to know what needs to
be done and ideally how to test it? E.g. I expect mouse is useless
for blind people right? so you use keyboard only? Or do you have/need
special hardware? I do not know any blind people around who I can
ask, so I expect that you involve and helps with testing and also
with answering questions when we start implementing it. E.g. you can
be co-mentor if we add it as Google Summer of Code project.
Yes, the blind we use only the keyboard.
For the hardware, there is no need for a specific thing, optionally a
braille beach support, but the vocal synthesis is already enough.
