Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher library for C#?

[Rastislav Kiss <rastislav kish gmail com>]

Hello,
I meaned some mailing lists about blind people and Linux, that's
probably a better formulation. Something like Eyes-free mailing list
for Android. People were sharing there basically everithing related to
our community, from screenreader updates, through recommendations to
mailing apps to experiences with phones, tablets, etc.
If one released an app and wanted it to be noticed by as many blind
people as possible, Eyes-free was the best place. If one wanted
experiences of others with NVIDIA shell TV Box and its accessibility,
Eyes-free was the best place. And if one simply wanted to ask for a
program to do something, for example ocr a document, Eyes-free was
again very helpful.

Searching a related community is a good point for some of my projects,
for example my Ride code editor for Linux probably won't get high
attention on places with small concentration of developers.
But with most of them it's bit more complicated. Chinfusor for example
is designed to be used by people who speak more languages, but whether
those people, especially if they're not technical, would be present in
speech-dispatcher mailing list... I don't know.
A program for reading MathML is my other project. Its target audience
are blind high-school students, university students, scientists from
many areas such as mathematics, physics, artificial intelligence,
informatics and many more.
if there was a mailing-list like eyes-free, all of those people would
likely to be present there, as all of them are blind and use Linux, so
they want to have an image, what's happening in the Linux accessibility
for blind world.

Plus I have projects with much wider target groups, like a program to
ocr user's screen. It can be used by any blind person, and is only
related to blind people using Linux.

It would need a solid, heavily-linuxified community. :)

Best regards

Rastislav
