Re: [orca-list] Using HomeAssistant with Orca

[Patrick ZAJDA <patrick zajda fr>]

Hi Bart,


I am very interested in a discussion list about Home Assistant usage 
with a screen reader.

Nice to find some other users, last time I tried to find some screen 
reader users was with the Android version of Smart Life but nobody 🙂

Or they all go away after trying to contact Tuya 😅


There is a forum but I am not sure it would be the best place even if I 
tried to ask for some users in a topic: 
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/using-home-assistant-with-a-screen-reader/269964


I'm going to read the Github issue for unlabelled buttons.


Thanks for all,


Patrick
