Re: [orca-list] Is Orca support plug-in architecture ?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

I bet all the tools are already present in Linux and it's just a matter of finding someone who knows how to 
glue them to Orca and put together an interface.

Thanks.
Alex

Thankls Alex. 
I'd completely forgotten about this. This was the first and only plug-in I put in NVDA for a long time. 
Again, there may be new goodies I do not know about as I've had a pretty much windows free year now, sadly 
have not even installed or checked out last couple of nvda releases, but the OCR was the only plug-in that 
really did much of value I found, at least that effected more than one program. 
I thought about this for orca since day oone, and I'd put this as pretty high priority. 
Would it have to be integrated as a plug-in, no, but this is the usee case I was lookiing for to justify some 
serious man hours, (or even woman hours perhaps), gooing in to a  plug-in system. I say perhaps, as I'm still 
not sure whether our fearless leader shoud spend her time on this in an idel world, or if therre's any chance 
of others doing some of the heavy lifting here. 
I'd not be upset either way honestly, and do not know the technical requirements of actually creating an 
archetecture that would allow integration of diverse extras in to Orca as compared with just adding an OCR 
this option as a one off project.
