Re: [orca-list] Orca and Epiphany?

Thanks very much for your help. Now that I'm back on the Net, having had a crash, I'll check it out.

Hey Al.

I just took a quick look at the demo course. What seems to be going on
is the following:

1. Native caret navigation is not working properly on that site. This
    is problematic for both Epiphany and Firefox. In the former case,
    Orca does not control the caret at all and relies upon native caret
    navigation working. In the latter case, Orca can control the caret,
    but it sees it is in ARIA content and concludes that it shouldn't
    control the caret for that reason. I'll see what I can do about this
    for Firefox.

2. Structural navigation is not working properly on that site in
    Firefox. The reason why is, again, Orca sees that it is in ARIA and
    disables structural navigation. I just committed a change to Orca
    master so Orca keeps structural navigation enabled even in ARIA.
    As a result, you should now be able to navigate the site in Firefox
    by using 'm' to jump amongst landmarks and then other commands to
    interact with the content there. This works for me for both text and
    playing the video.

Hope this helps.

Hey, Joanie.

Previous times I didn't enable caret navigation, but I just tried that.
  I got a little more information, but not much.  I tried to watch
several videos, but got only a few seconds of one.

The site I'm trying to deal with is

www.edx.org

and in particularly the course called Introduction to Linux or
something.  You need a login there, but it's free and no trouble to
get--at least, that was true a bit over a year ago.

Thanks for any help.

Hey Al.

Did you enable caret navigation in Epiphany by pressing F7? Also, is
there a particular page you're having problems with (in either browser)?

Greetings!  Also, sorry for some duplication for those who saw my
message on the Blinux list:  I should have put it here first.

Anyway, has anybody been able to use Orca with Epiphany?  I have vague
memories that somebody might have, but my several efforts have produced
almost nothing.  I tried it yesterday on an edx.org course page after
being unable to get to some course content via Firefox, but I got
nowhere.  Since one of the edx.org tech people suggested giving Epiphany
a try, I thought I should check with others, though I also told this
person of my experience.  (I note with gratitude that the edx.org tech
support folks seem to know at least a little about non-visual access
stuff, and have replied promptly to my inquiries.)

I'll be grateful for any pointers.

Al
