Re: [orca-list] Orca and MuseScore/Qt-applications

[Peter Bartels <froschdd yahoo de>]

Thanks Alex,

no, "export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1" doesn't change anything. As far as I know this command was necessary up to Qt version 4.x, but anymore longer from version 5.x. But IIRC (not sure) it seemed to work some month ago, that Orca was able to read the menun items at least, but not all the musical elements as shown in the linked video of my post above.

Not sure if it's an Orca or Qt issue (maybe Orca needs some instructions inside the application to recognize it?), but as mentioned, it works more or less stable with NVDA.

Maybe you could advice me the link to report it in the issue tracker of Orca?

Thanks again.

Does it work if you enable export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 ?

QT a11y should be enabled automatically but the way it detects accessibility is not standard. We should report them an issue but I've not found the time for that.

Best regards.

The Qt-application MuseScore is a scorewriter. One aim is to improve the accessibility, also that it works with screen readers.
The actual version seems to run by using NVDA with Windows quite good (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=33&v=Ocl9gBxmeKg&feature=emb_logo), but I don't get it to run with Orca, not sure about the reason.

My system: OpenSuse Lep 15.0, using XFCE, QT-version: 5.9.4 (so the command "export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1" shouldn't be neccassary anymore and don't have any effect), orca version: 3.26.0, at-spi2 version: 2.26.3

GTK-applications seems to work well for me. But what is neccassary to get work Orca with Qt-applications in general, but especially with MuseScore? It would be great if the software would also work with a screen reader and Linux (and at time it's not clear also for the developers about the reason: https://musescore.org/en/node/299387 ), so to improve the accessibility features there.
