Lol I have no problem saying I am 100% against proprietary options. I don't support them, and actively discourage people from using them. Further more, I will not help with their use, even if I know how. Storm

I am not trying to get in to a debate, nor say that there is a right or better way to live and or compute that fits all users and situations, just saying that I aplaud the project for making a nonfree OCR engine available for those who need it. I think the people involved will choose FOS whenever possible from what little I know of them and their values and wishes, and for the record that is what I would most like to see, and I will support and promote the project more if that is the case. Anyway, I say thank you for your work with the Hypra Project, and for organizing your team to make Linux computing more accessible for blind and lowvision folks._______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.htmlLog bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org_______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
