The problem with running orca on LXDE is that it really only works well in
Gnome and so don't know that its a solution. I have tried to run it on
xubuntu which uses XCFE which is a GTK+ based desktop and it still didn't
work well enough to be functional, ie, it won't read menues.

get the development ISO to test. The slowest box I have that I can
bring out of retirement here is a K6 II 300mhz. Is that too fast, or is
that OK?

Hiyas,
much has happened recently, including lubuntu getting clearance for full

so, it isn't like in the better days when a new distro release meant leaps
and bounds forward in the screen reader department. So, I also have found
Orca works about as good on both.

What you want is Vinux then.

It is a fork of Ubuntu made for blind people and has all the accessibility
software running out of the box for you including orca.

rtain scientific packages were concerned but did not find it
easy to figure out how to help and submit a package. Sometimes
technologies can be glued together to work within a distro by people who
are familiar with using them, but it seems difficult to try and get on the
official team.

I would just be repeating much of what has already be said at this point.

article today talking about Mozilla donating $10,000 to Gnome for
accessibility. Maybe you could even get on at Mozilla? Just a thought,
but they seem to care about and have a stake in Orca and accessibility on
the Linux desktop.
Kind regards and you are in my prayers!

Wow awesome! I am wondering why I don't have it in Lenny when I search
for it. I guess only one person meant tesseract then. Thank you very
much for your explanation because now I know there is a deb package. I
just have to figure out why I am not seeing it in my version of the distro
and m
u, but it's definitely a Debian package.

Does anyone have an opinion about what the best OCR software is for Linux
for blind people that talks well? I would prefer a command line package,
but if there is only a GUI one that works OK, knowing about it would be
good to know too.

I'm trying to build a Vinux (blind-user Linux distro) release based on
Ubuntu/Lucid. There's too much cod

accessibility in Gnome.

the server and so don't care about a GUI and would like to see that "just

there is a chance to do so, but no one has answered me.
