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

I think Linux a11y would be in a better state if it were more community supported. Like, both NVDA and JAWS have OCR out of the box. JAWS now has that picture smart thing, where images are uploaded to all the servers to caption them, but of course no one on Linux would want that unless they owned the servers. But in order to be community supported by blind people, desktop environments and distro creators will *need* to support the few brave blind people who use Linux now, with its current large stack of issues.

Good. Then they can take out the intermediate step that only gets in the
way. The fact that these are the only screen readers still copying
things and buffering them for presentation to the end user says a lot
about the true state of a11y over there, and none of it is good.
