Re: [orca-list] Use Linux as a daily driver



Hi:

Thank you very much for this info.

I'm quite familiar with the shortcuts and I have read the
documentation and I really love the google approach of a fully
accessible webmail with all functionality intact.

Hello,

Standard gmail interface i.e. the one you will get on your first login to
gmail is working fine with orca and Firefox.
It's a good idea to read google's online help to discover their keyboard
shortcuts to be a bit more productive than by using tab and shift+tab and
arrow keys only but it for sure can be done. I don't know these shortcut
keys my self but I find gmail web interface to be working great.

Greetings

Peter

Hi all:

I want to give Linux a chance as a daily driver.
I have a workstation that I can use for testing out different Linux
distros.
If all goes well I'd love to switch to Linux as my main OS on my laptop
as well.

It's mainly possible. I do this.

My requirements:

* Using the web is important.
I particularly need to use banking and the gmail interface.

* Email - see above.
I use the Gmail standard view to manage my email and it works great on
Windows with Firefox and NVDA.
Of course I can go back to use a email client like Thunderbird if Orca
does not handle the gmail interface to my satisfaction.
However, I really prefer the webmail approach.

No problem, provided that you use the legacy webmail interface, instead
of the modern one.

* Use the terminal effectively; especially remote admin work via ssh.

* OCR
I currently use ABBYY FineReader on Windows and it's a great solution.

It's not great on Linux. Some tools exist, e.g. Lios, etc, related to
tesseract engine, but it's clearly not extraordinary.

Why not dualboot to deal with this? With a shared folder between your
Win and Linux?

Regards,

How well does Linux/Orca perform with the above requirements?

Thanks,

-Øyvind
