Dear orca developers,
I am working on XBoard Gtk to make it accessible. The
version that use TTS to announce the information is being
tested by my visually impaired friends. As you know, using TTS
is not a good method, so I just created a solution by
setting accessible description, so that screen reader can
say it. Unfortunately this demands a minor change in orca
screen reader code also(scripts/default.py). The patch is
attached with this mail. Maybe we have to provide a check
box option in orca to enable this.
Quick way to
compile accessible XBoard :
sudo apt-get install
fairymax texinfo libgtk-3-dev build-essential
git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/xboard.git
git checkout gtk3
autoreconf --install
./configure
--prefix=/usr
make
sudo make
install
Please let me this amendment is feasible or not. Expecting
an early reply Nalin.
