Again, I'm an absolute lightweight among programmers, but being open source isn't the same as being portable, and even if NVDA was objectively the best Windows screen reader, that wouldn't necessarily mean it's devs would be able to apply any of their experience to making a better Linux screen reader. As nice as it would be to have a single screen reader application that would run on any OS on any hardware with at most a recompile, the reality is probably closer to needing platform specific optimizations to keep the system requirements reasonable. Granted, I could be wrong and the only reason there isn't a .deb for NVDA or an install.exe for Orca is because no one's tried compiling them outside their native environments, but if it was that simple, it begs the question of why no one has tried compiling them. -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
