Firstly wish to know what did you use to make the presentation? Is it some thing like latex-beamer or some other package? secondly, is there a way to get some other formats into pympress? <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 13/01/20 3:56 pm, Peter Rayner via orca-list wrote: </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:24092.17891.718027.642016@6250l-137483-l.mobility.unimelb.net.au"> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">A while ago I asked about tools for two-screen presentation that might work well with orca. I've almost found one, pympress (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress.git">https://github.com/Cimbali/pympress.git</a>) With two screens it will display a "content" screen for the audience and a "presenter's" screen for the presenter. In particular it has an annotations mode where pdf annotations on a pdf page are displayed in an annotations area on the presenter's screen. These are visible to orca. for the curious I attach a simple latex file which generates such a thing. To test this build pympress, (I installed it with the conda packaging system) generate the pdf with pdflatex pympress-demo run it again to remove some latex warnings pdflatex pympress-demo then pympress pympress-demo.pdf You will need to turn on annotations mode in the configuration menu. The first time I needed sighted assistance for that but I bet I could have changed a config file somewhere. I managed to find the annotations with my braille display and change the pages with the space bar on the display. This is surprisingly close to what I need. The main remaining problem is that orca doesn't *seem* to update the annotations as I change page and also that, on drawing the new page, orca doesn't know to jump to the annotations area (why should it of course). This might be a gtk question but is there anything I can call to attract orca's attention to a particular bit of the screen? If it's any help here is the method that renders the annotations: def add_annotations(self, annotations): """ Add annotations to be displayed (typically on going to a new slide). """ prev_annots = self.scrollable_treelist.get_model() if prev_annots: prev_annots.clear() list_annot = Gtk.ListStore(str) for annot in annotations: list_annot.append(('● ' + annot,)) self.scrollable_treelist.set_model(list_annot) self.scrollable_treelist is a widget constructed by a call to a Gtk.Builder instance. I'm perfectly happy to change the way pympress is displaying these annotations e.g. to a Textview... what is source code for after all. So my main question is how to render these annotations in such a way that orca will automatically jump to the annotations area when each new page comes up. Of course if that turns out to be impossible then a single keystroke that would accomplish the same thing would be ok too. thanks in advance for any help and, of course, I'll share the result if I can make it work. rgards Peter </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">_______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:orca-list@gnome.org">orca-list@gnome.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list">https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list</a> Orca wiki: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca">https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca</a> Orca documentation: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/">https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/</a> GNOME Universal Access guide: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html">https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html</a> </pre> </blockquote> <div class="moz-signature">-- Regards, Krishnakant Mane, Project Founder and Leader, <a style="color:#FF4500" href="https://gnukhata.in/">GNUKhata</a> (Opensource Accounting, Billing and Inventory Management Software)</div> </body> </html>
