Hi Tara,
Yes I know about how Macs automatically start speech if you don't
interact with the system. Basically they assume you can't see the
screen if you don't do anything after a set period.
It would be great if Ubuntu could be like this or we could at least have
a system where speech could be enabled at any time with a simple easy to
remember keypress.
I still don't fully understand how we're (as in blind people) currently
supposed to get the Ubuntu CD up and talking.
I do have it installed (I'm using it right now) but I would like to try
and get the developers to make it easier for blind people in future
versions to get up and running so I need to understand how it works at
the moment.
Any help appreciated!
Paul

On Macintosh OS X systems,, if you are at the front boot screen of the
install screen long enough without touching/typing anything, the
screen reader software starts up and asks if you need a screen
reader. I forget exactly how that works, as I'm sighted, but I could
go figure it out if it helped someone.
Paul, did you get this figured out? We can work together off list if
you need more help.
With Love,
Tara

Hi,
Curious if there are any plans to make the accessible installation of
the next release of Ubuntu more accessible?
My thought is that instead of he rather precise timing required now
to access the accessibility options that a keystroke could be used on
the first page of the installer (once the Live CD loads) to activate
the options. Perhaps there is a technical limitation that would
prevent this of which I am unaware.
Thanks,
