Re: [orca-list] viewing slideshows

Hi, Krishnakant,

I will be very interested in your findings.  I have recently begun to learn the beamer class in LaTeX and 
have found it fascinatingly doable and full of possibilities.  I find that I can access them to a point in 
presentation view for Adobe in Windows with Jaws but the navigation bards affect the readability somewhat 
when using some of the themes that feature them heavily like Singapore, Madrid, ETC.  I have not tried them 
on Evince with Orca yet.  Do you use this documentclass much for presentations yourself?  If so, do you show 
them in html or what do you use?  How do you cope with the in-presentation navigation with areas temporarily 
covered up and then revealed (overlays)?  Does Orca give you sufficient information for you to know where in 
the presentation you are?  I would love to use this tool in my clases here at work but have been reluctant to 
do so owing to the poor readability with a screen reader I've encountered.  I never know what slide I am on.  
Please get back to me.  I would very much like to stop using powerpoint as it has its own snafu's.  

Thanks.
Alex M

Hi Joanie,
That's interesting.
I know PDF files are now accessible, but presentations?
I will try making one using LaTeX-beamer and see what output I get.
Will report the results on this very thread.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
