Version 1.0.0 of Orca - the free, open source, scripting screen reader for UNIX systems that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification - has been officially released. Development of Orca was led by Sun's Accessibility Program Office, and the 1.0.0 release includes many contributions from the open source community and disability organizations. Version 1.0.0 supports the GNOME desktop, yelp, gedit, gnome-terminal, evolution, gaim, OpenOffice Writer & Calc, and StarOffice Writer & Calc. Separately, the Mozilla Foundation announced that it is funding grants for individuals to work on Mozilla accessibility projects.
