Hi All,
I have an OLPC machine on loan. I'm blind, and am wondering about the current state of play regarding facilities such as screen readers which would allow me to access this machine. Can anyone tell me if there are features currently built into the OLPC machines which will give me screen reader functionality, and if so how to access them. Alternatively, is it possible to load an application such as Orca onto the oLPC machine and is there documentation about how this works?
Regards,
Tim Pennick
