Re: [orca-list] Screenreader Accessibility Testers for Ubuntu

team-viewer with ocrdesktop could work ocrdesktop gets id and password of
session to send to someone else who would connect and see what you do and
what web response happens.  I need to study ocrdesktop so I can use it
that way to maybe help support on a few projects.
Emacs is available for windows and works as well as anything does with
jaws and is also available on linux.  Emacs has lots of stuff that can
cover libreoffice functions too.

Hello,

I don't have many problems with environment. I prefer Mate. I have many
problems with Czech modern web sites. I can't well describe bugs in English
and tell Joanie, what's the problem, technical English isn't my cup of coffee.
It would be great to have Czech support, because I can't describe web bugs
well. I am afraid I have to buy Windows machine or Mac for some works, which
aren't comfortable with linux. But I don't want Windows like primary system
and it would be great to repair accessibility in linux.

The second large problem is accessibility of Libreoffice or other office apps.
When I was at school and wanted to write my thesis, I had to write it in Pluma
and edit it on Windows, that wasn't good for me. I am glad Joanie works for us
and I am thanking her for her great job. But many years I think she needs
help. I am not programmer and can't help her much, but it's great, linux
accessibility is better than six years ago. Accessibility is better, but work
goes slow, because Joanie is alone in Orca develompent. I know, Chrys makes
Orca with addons, but on Orca Master works Joanie only. But she works as she
can. But it's right, many developers don't think on accessibility.

Best regards

Vojta.

Hello,

I will intentionally mix, as we say in Slovenia, apples and pears,
when I'm going to say, look on accessibility in Windows or MAC.
From my point of view, Ubuntu (used with gnome) or generally Linux
should generally work on that. one example is settings panel. it is
integral part of a system, so it should have been accessible out of
the box, but from my perspective, it's not true. I still cannot set
e.g. a correct timezone with Orca. but this is only one of many
problems. I think, that Orca as screen reader is the smallest problem,
moreover, Orca could be an example of excelent contribution between
developer (MRS. Diggs) and community. She does as much as possible,
only one developer cannot do much more in given time.
bigger problems are accessibility APIs and other infrastructure, which
helps us to work with computer. The most important thing is, that
developers of other products don't have accessibility in mind.
just attention, in 2025 many computers, where Windows 10 is installed
and are not compatible with Windows 11 will be at risk, because at
that time support for w10 will be ended. here is an opportunity for
distros developers to gain more users, who will not want to replace
their computers with newer. and this is obviously an opportunity and
challenge for Linux developers to make it more accessible out of the
box.
Resume of problems:
- lack of accessibility developers
- a11y APIs
- Orca and other screen readers in Linux
- only a bit of other developers have accessibility in mind, others
don't think about it

I welcome this survey and hope, that Ubuntu and Linux in general will
become more accessible in near future.

best regards,
Jo?ef

I am just an end user and very happy to use Ubuntu with Orca.
Accessibility is very important so I am available for testing.

Hello all!

My name is Monica Ayhens-Madon and I'm the Ubuntu Community
Representative at Canonical. I also work with an internal group
working on increasing the accessibility of the desktop and our website
in a variety of ways, including for screenreaders. We have a post here
with a specific call for screenreader testers for the web page and the
new Flutter installer:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/accessibility-testers-needed-web-site-and-flutter-installer/26485

We also want to build up screenreader testing in the wider Ubuntu
community, and to make sure that testing improves things both
downstream and upstream. If you'd be interested in talking to me or
anyone in the accessibility group on how we can make an easy to follow
process that is easy for potential testers to find, we would be happy
to have your suggestions, concerns, and other feedback.

Cheers!

Monica
