I turned accessibility on (magnifier and orca) for a short demo recently (7.04) and was most impressed. I have normal sight, and while helping age concern (a few years ago), I attended a half day using the windows based (and very expensive) HAL software. HAL was quite good, and I thought the current offering from orca was easily comparable. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
