Re: [orca-list] helping a blind person...



I don't know much about the availability of audio tutorials but one
good starting place is http://live.gnome.org/Orca (Orca must be
capitalized in URL).  Actually, I just looked there and there is a
link to audio tutorials on that first page.  this is a wikki which
should give you a bunch of information.  Oh and when she gets
aclemated to using a screen reader and such, she is more than welcome
to come to this list and ask more questions here and people on this
list can help further along.  A lot of people use Ubuntu and Vinux is
a version of Ubuntu that has been further customized to help blind
people get started faster.

Hope this helps.

Hello..
I'm simply trying to help a blind friend of mine with her Ubuntu Linux Orca program..
she is challenged at navigating it..can't figure out the keyboard use keys, etc...

she is hoping for an audio tutorial to be able to use her computer for those everyday tasks she was so good 
at before her eyesight failed..

as far as I know, she was and still is an avid Ubuntu user..and I think she has the current / latest 
release of it..

She is so eager to learn and get her cyber life back.. so alone and lost without her contact with the 
outside world which the web and her computer was to her...

Hope you are able to direct me in the right directions for her..

Thanks..
