Re: [orca-list] smartphone with ubuntu and orca

[Zahari Yurukov <zahari yurukov gmail com>]

OMG, I didn't send this to the list, but privately to Pavel instead -
and I've wondered why I haven't recieved any response (see the quoted
thread below).
There is an update however - I bought a BQ Aquaris E4.5 device and it
arrived this Monday, but I cant find any build-in accessibility nor in
the Ubuntu Store niether.

Joanie, are you envolved in the development of the accessibility in
Ubuntu Phone? How could I install Orca on it?

Best wishes,
Zahari
