Re: [orca-list] ssh



As per my last message, yes you can use orca over ssh!  Just load brltty with the tty driver on the remote machine.  Then start orca on the remote machine and tell orca to use a braille display.  You can then use orca or brltty to read that ssh'd tty output.

Hi Louis,

No, unfortunately not. There is no way for Orca to access the
accessibility framework on the remote machine therefore any and all
GUI applications will be inaccessible via ssh. Unlike Windows screen
readers that depend on a special video intercept driver to access
screen content Orca gets all of its information through the at-spi
API. If at-spi is inaccessible such as on a remote machine Orca has
absolutely no way of identifying the contents of the screen.
