Re: [orca-list] Building Accessible Kiosks Using Orca

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

Webkit-gtk has some accessibility built-in however it's not robust enough to handle day to day browsing.
So to get the most out of it you should try to find a way to change that to Firefox.
Other than Firefox and Seamonkey I haven't came accross lighter gecko based alternative that has not accessibility support ripped out as well.

For network synthesis I think you can use remote speech-dispatcher. In theory it should work but I haven't experienced it my-self.

Greetings

Peter

Hi All,

I’m looking to build an accessible Kiosk-like experience that uses Orca.

The current project requirements are:

1. Must run Orca

2. Runs in an environment with a network synthesizer so does not need audio support at the moment

3. Must run a web browser in full-screen that displays one website without the ability to edit the address bar or otherwise leave the page it’s on unless links on the page allow for it

4. Must be as resource efficient as possible

5. Must be usable via a remote VNC connection

What I have so far is:

1. Based on Alpine Linux or Arch

2. Uses GTK-Webkit to run a shell in which a page can be loaded

My current questions are:

1. How can I get a minimal Orca setup? I can use either packages or compilation.

2. What Desktop Environment (DE)  should I use? Do I need a DE at all? I think I do.

3. What is the best browser to use for this kiosk mode. GTK-Webkit seems like a good candidate but I’m open to suggestions.

4. Is there anything else you notice that I have missed?

Any help with the above is greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Alex
