Re: [orca-list] Abiword and Gnumeric Accessibility.



Yes, the edit area/spreadsheet don't read with Orca. It would be great
to have this be an option for us, as OpenOffice is quite a bit of
space on the CD and in general. The more options we have the better.
After all, isn't that what Linux is all about anyway?

Hi everyone, we have been approached by Michiel Leenaars who works for
a Dutch funding  body and has connections with the Abiword and
Gnumeric developers, he responded to an e-mail I think I sent to them
regarding lack of accessuibility, and they would like to know what
they need to do to make Abiword and Gnumeric accessible - as far as I
can see the menus and dialogue boxes are accessible in both - it is
just when you type in the edit area or cells that Orca will not read
the contents (although you get key echo) So I am assuming that only
the edit areas (and cells) need making accessible - everything else
seems to work. So I am posting this message so that people can get in
touch with the Abiword/Gnumeric developers (in the CC) to advise on
what needs doing. If Abiword and Gnumeric were accessible they would
make a very light and fast alternative for most users over Open
Office, and would fit on the CD etc.
