ThankYou [EMAIL PROTECTED] My name is Terry Jones. I am a programmer who has
had double eye transplant surgery. I am 26. Ubuntu users a lot of them use both
Gnome and KDE apps side by side. My default desktop is Gnome but I also use KDE
as well. I have the full kde 3.5.9 desktop installed. I am testing Orca in
8.04.1 LTS Hardy Heron. I need a set of users to volunteer to test Orca with
KDE 3.5 apps and KDE 4 Apps and report back to the mailing list how Orca
worked and did not work with these apps.
I tested the following applications.
1. Konqueror (Web Browser)
2. Amerok(Music Player)
3. Kontact (Personal Information Manager)
In my early tests so far I found Orca was blind to KDE apps. That means Orca
could not preform the following tesks.
1. Read aloud the keyboard strokes inside a KDE app and output a voice as
feedback to inform the user of their input.
2. Could not tell the user when they closed a KDE app.
3. When reading a list of open apps and the apps are not minized to the taskbar
the KDE apps would get skipped over.
A. Please include the following in your reponse.
1. Name of volunteer.
2. Disability
3. The version Ubuntu/Kubuntu you are using.
4. The version of Gnome/KDE you are using.
5. Name of the application.
6. What did you want Orca to do?
7. How Orca worked.
8. How Orca did not work.
B. Sample reponse
1. Name of volunteer. Terry Jones
2. Disability. Low vision
3. The version Ubuntu/Kubuntu you are using. Hardy Herdy Heron 8.04.1 LTS
4. The version of Gnome/KDE you are using. Gnome 2.24 KDE 3.5.9
5. Name of the application. Konqueror(Web Browser)
6. What did you want Orca to do? Read the current web page.
7. How Orca worked. Did not work at all.
8. How Orca did not work.Could not get Orca to read
a web page in Konqueror.
