Hello,
I'm pretty new to this mailing list. I joined this
mailing list after somebody recommended me to use Ubuntu distrobution of
Linux.
I'm blind and I use the GUI more than the command
line, but I had a problem.
As I suspect, I think Orca doesn't support the
terminal quite good, that is because of such statements from the Speakup
list:
> Sorry, something is not clear here. If Ubuntu
has a screen reader itself,
> why do I need the support of Speakup? You don't, not if you plan to use the
gui.
and etc.
Having a good screen reader for the GUI version is
quite cool, but there were questions I have for asking:
First, does Orca really work perfectly in the text
terminal? If yes, then why would I need SpeakUp as the people in the speakup
list suggested?
Second, I'm a fan of mudding and have not found a
mud client supported by Orca. If I want to get one, what should I search for
that I would be sure they would be supported?
I think they are not easy to get a script for,
since the text of the window gets upgraded as you type something in, and in
Windows XP SP2 that I'm already using with JFW, if I switch Jaws to
"say all", it would also read the text that has not been changed. In other
terms, it reads the whole window.
So do you think searching a "terminal-based mud
client" would take me to the correct path or you have any other
suggestions?
Thank you,
Parham Doustdar
