Re: [orca-list] Accessibility of apps

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

BTW, I like the idea of fixing audacity, and linphone. 
I mostly use the cli interface to linphone, but have had to write scripts to improve it/no accessability 
issues there though. The GTK linphone interface 
is so close/would love to see it get where it should be.
Rhythmbox some times seems hard to move around in, but I can't put exact issues in to words off the top of my 
head as I don't use it much because of the 
issues I can't pstate very clearly at the moment.
Gpodder: a fine program, under steady development/lead dev sounds like a nice guy. I wonder if there could be 
an easy fix to the constant reporting of 
download progress that makes using the program once d-loads have started a pain, a few other things could be 
done to improve its usability with Orca as 
well, but would need to spend some time with a sighted person wtching the screen to know how much can and 
can't be accessed with a mouse at certain 
times as the interface is reported differently depending on whether or not updates have been just done or if 
one has downloaded or otherwise interacted 
since last update check.
