Re: [orca-list] Sayall(+) Functionlity: Download Office & browser contents as MP3; Identification and Interpretation of Images,tables,Links

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Great feature!  One bit of feedback for you:

 

Can you make this depend on speech dispatcher instead of Espeak?  Speech dispatcher would allow people to have another speech synthesizer be the voice used to record the audio file.  This way, a more natural, human-like voice like svox-pico, mbrola  or Festival might be used without you needing to code support for each and every one of these alternative synthesizers. 

 

I love the idea.

 

Best Regards,

Hi All,

      I am working with BOSS Operating System in which ORCA used for providing accessibility.

 

      Below are the some of the difficulties faced by disabled users, during sayall(+). 

 

             1. Orca reads entire text contents, but it is unable to differentiate and interpret  Images, tables, Links

             2. If the user wants to keep the content in recorded audio format(.MP3, .WAV),they have to depend on some TTS engine, which needs to copy the whole content manually

                from that document/web page, to convert it to MP3.

  

      So, have made changes in the code solve this .

IMPLEMENTATION:

 1. Download As MP3 : For Word Documents and Browser :

        a. Orca + d - which will enable  sayall event along with, it will copy the contents to a text file
        b. Shift+Alt+d - which will generate MP3 file  from the text content using espeak.

 2. Presentation of Table information :

 a. For Word Documents, Identification of table interpreted as "Table"  and , presentation of

        a. No of Rows and Columns 
        b. Row and Column Index 
        c. Indication of "End of Table" 
 

        Ex: Table contains 2 Rows and 2 Columns. Row 1 Column 1: Roll No....End  Of Table

 b. For browser, Identification of table interpreted as "Table"  and , presentation of

 

       a. No of Rows and Columns 

 3. Presentation of link : For Word Documents and Browser :

        a. Have used the function adjustForLinks() which was written  already.
 

        Ex:  www.google.com  link
 

Have updated patch files in Bugzilla under bug id : 705556. 

Please provide your suggestions.
