[orca-list] Evince accessibility (was Re: sayAll command not working in adobe reader)



Hi Krishnakant:

What we need is a good hacker with the right skills to step up and deliver on the GOPA task to make Evince more accessible:

If anyone knows of such a hacker, or you are a hacker, please raise your hand. :-)

hi aruni and wili,
by co insidance, I was at a workshop yesterday and a visually handicap
person asked me about acrobat reader.
I am aware about what wili replied about the bugs not being cared to
by the adobe fokes.
I feel this is exactly what happens generally with a proprietory
software.  I think wili was right that evince must get more attention
than acrobat reader.
afterall what is wrong if we have a free (as in freedom) software to
read pdf documents become accessible with a free screen reader like
orca?
infact in that case we may not have to run after the proprietory fokes at adobe.
not that there is any thing wrong in working on the acccessibility
front out there, but as a free software hacker and seeing the
bennifit, I believe that evince must get more attention for sure.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.

Hi will, I would also like to add that I am not having much problem
with SayAll command in other applications like FF#, Writer,
thunderbird etc, as has been reported by some other people. Of course
I have to switch from gnome-speech to speech-dispatcher sometimes to
make it work.
Thanks,
ARuni.

Hi Aruni:

We've not put a whole lot of effort into Adobe Reader in a long time, so
it indeed might be broken.  There were enough other issues with Reader,
btw, that we deemed it something to back burner until they addressed the
bugs we filed with them.  At some point we may ramp back up on the
Reader effort, but I would also like to see progress made on Evince
accessibility:
