Hello Chamandeep,
I think we have four members at the moment. I am trying to publicise
the existence of the group on other mailing lists and on the Raspberry
Pi forum pages.
I got my Pi running yesterday and at the moment I am connecting with
PuTTY. It doesn't work brilliantly with NVDA because NVDA doesn't do
the video interception that Jaws does. But I am trying to write a
better appModule for NVDA to improve it.
There was one user on the Raspberry Pi forum that claims to have got
Orca running but that was months ago and he has gone quiet without
sharing what he done.
I have started a discussion with one of the forum admins in Switzerland
and he is currently trying to get SpeakUp! console-mode screen-reader going.
I would really like to see two more options added to the raspi-config
menu for switching on Orca and SpeakUp! in Raspbian. That way it would
be ready to rock for any visually impaired kids out of the box. Don't
know who to speak to to get that to happen.
It would be wise to update to the latest Wheezy Raspbian image because
that has SSH enabled by default. I think the earlier ones didn't.
Good luck Chamandeep and keep talking!
Mike

Hi
Firstly, thank you for creating this list. It will be a valuable
resource i am sure. How many members do we currently have?
I have had my raspberrypi for quite some months, but haven't had the
chance to sit down and do something with it. I installed raspbian ages
ago, but i need to update the installation. I will be using putty once
that is done and i have heard that it works better with jaws, although
cannot confirm that until i use it myself. So do we know whether orka
will work on this?
Finally, what projects do people have in mind for the pi? Let's get
some discussion going.
regards,
Chamandeep Singh

Hello.
Welcome to the new joiners.
I just got my Pi up and running yesterday and I'm still having some issues.
Currently I am using PuTTY to connect via ssh. Using NVDA screen-reader
I am finding that I can't tell what I am typing at the Pi prompt and the
text in a document edited by nano isn't echoed via NVDA.
If anyone else has any ideas or better progress I am sure we'd all like
to hear.
Anything we share on here I may post to the Raspberry Pi forums for more
people to see.
Mike
