-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I follow closely the news around Ubuntu for Phones since the announcement in early 2013. Unfortunately, it is hard to find any information about accessibility, so I've decided to come here and ask. Last news I know are from august 2013, and that is that Ubuntu Phone is accessible with Orca, but only with a keyboard, and the touch accessibility support is already in progress. Last summer I'm sure I've read somewhere that the LTS version will include at least a screen magnifier for sure. So I've purchased my Aquaris at the second flash sell on 25 February and after a little problems with the currier (which they resolved quickly after my call) I finaly recieved it this Monday.
I'm a vissually impared, but I have a little sight, so I was able to play with it a little with a hand-held magnifier and I can tell you've done a very nice work guys. Unfortunately, I can't use it effectively without a screen reader software or at a minnimum - a software screen magnifier. I went through all applications and settings and I've searched the store through uappexplorer.com and it appears that niether Orca nor a magnifier are officially available. If I have missed something - please correct me. So my question is - how can I install and enable Orca and/or a screen magnifier? Everything you can share about this subject is of great interest for me. For example, what is the state of the current development of the accessibility tools for Ubuntu Phone and what are your plans for future versions, or can I read a roadmap or something somewhere? I use Ubuntu on my desktop and it's not a problem installing and dealing with developer tools if nesesary. Also I could test and report you back any issues. I'll be happy if you could recommend me also a good keyboard (with modificators etc), which will work out-of-the-box, cause a have problems typing with the on-screen keyboard while I use this external hand-held magnifier at the same time. Best wishes, Zahari -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVN4YXAAoJELcU47hAtAnqFO0P/26YmFukCES8CprBGe6En2vp iRZ1JsIa2iqarlBgtHEbSFRs66a4D2y5TXfqfWJZhve/qlUdCwVG5AAJsF6Srbha fWwkhathYu65d3AUihJ0K7Pdoeha0TfDZ5WnLDFJa4PsuC68BKCnt+ZEej2ErSY9 FZ23oNEdyie1jZpP8Ui4p4H10N9252Ke65MAwZiSTjHsfLAUnfggayoMwY1zmBFv r1dSW/TM4OzLFpuRy0fTrwXkTjor8SCgtzVmQ6j7wlv2wUCcirgNcpRbMydvyj9s sUEj9+ljjFPXpbc8JsbYkicZKRhaQYLJBDP9HXUtgsb/Awiwn7UfFF9HiC6hnD3H U72ATwrKVai3hY4+3FgGSwLuKRlGL72cFBTHOgXl6BApiYRo8D1awcDgyVvynZh7 jMsUyz8jwMef//0E6ODTbjslrCEM8VMh7UQM3NrLxcY2LvG6TBAcLbGx5uyJKiNK 3PYAZW4LVPF6WNmE9J9QUWqtKUQMKl5RppIioGRaLTloNljbKrIzxAOzIgpj4yV8 ENT3A5urYhuznY4G25lvxX1N3jLcQPQaxH3YzaxPxxrFsyV4mf1HfcFGVpoB82o0 Dd3ux5UNe6oaLIJDbcI3JyMMJxTdxjPIB2u0UAdHvPjZBRJGfixukXJYLBZbY56f rRBo/2Uz+f+tnXQGkj02 =0SsE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
