[Trisquel-users] My complements to the Devs

[hokehunterj]

Hi. My name is hunter, and I'm totally blind (hence the username Blinux). I  
wish to thank those that develop Trisquel OS, and all the other dev who  
create packages for Trisquel. I have been using Trisquel in a virtual Machine  
on a 2012 MacBook pro, and I must say that Trisquel is much more accessible  
and user-friendly than other distros I've used. Also, if you develop packages  
for Trisquel, please make sure they are accessible with the assistive  
technology included in Trisquel. For sighted users, Orca and similar  
technology may be an annoyance. However, it makes a huge difference to those  
who require it.

Best wishes.

Thanks!

And to those people that complain about ORCA automatically starting in the  
installer, this is why.

I'm glad to hear this as well. That said there could be a big red button for  
the seeing to disable orca.

Agreed! As I have said in another thread, all software that brings people  
with handicaps to technology are winners.
Also, agree with lembas, I was one of the people who complained about Orca  
and would love to have a big button to disable it :)

welcome to the community Blinux. Stay libre!

Thanks for the welcome. BTW, you can press alt+super+S to disable orca from  
the live CD. Someone maintaining the documentation should add that to the FAQ  
or something.

Another blind guy puts his hand up.  Welcome, Blinux, to the community; enjoy  
your stay!  In the default desktop, 'alt+super+s' will toggle the screen  
reader.  On the login greeter, 'cctrl+s' is the orca toggle.  If you're using  
gdm3, instead of lightdem, 'alt+super+s' is the default for whole system.
