Hi everyone,
as one of my interests is chess and board games in general, I've
searched for an accessible chess program to play with.
I've found a discussion regarding making XBoard, the base of Winboard
accessible on Linux, an I saw it was succesful.
But the orca-list archive is... quite hard to navigate, especially with
Orca reading every single page element.
Thus I am not sure, what is the current status of the project, and
where to get the last accessibility patch with build instructions.
Could someone please point me to the right place? I thought the initial
goal was to make the app accessible just out of the box, but after
installing the last version from Ubuntu repository, it doesn't seem to
be the case.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Rastislav

Hi again,
as I'm slowly finishing porting my development tools to Linux, I'm
assembling a todo list of things, which i'll adress as first, when I'll
be able to fully code, like on Windows.
MathMl seems to be the problem number one, but there are also other
things, with could be done without unrealistic efforts.
With one of them being ocr, like thatone of Jaws or Nvda. In short,
Orca could be capable of recognizing text on the screen and clicking
it, what can in some cases make completely inaccessible app quite
usable.
I noticed, that Orca is lacking this functionality, or at least I
didn't find a way to do it.
But before I start coding, I want to be sure, isn't there already some
plugin for example capable of doing this?
It should be theoretically easy, as Tesseract has very simple and
friendly api, but still, I don't want to be reinventing the wheel. :)
Thanks!
Best regards
Rastislav
