Hi everyone -- I just joined this list and I am a Linux sysadmin who has been in IT for over 20 years and my sight now is pretty close to nothing. I am down to about 5 degrees of vision and going to nothing at some point, so am starting to look at screen readers to get used to them before everything goes dark. I'm looking to see what other Linux users use and what works best. I have a somewhat complicated desktop because I work in an engineering environment that has a lot of engineering tools based on java and X-Windows. Some of the other tools are web based, which makes it easier. I support a lot of varying tools and servers, both Linux and Windows. I switched back from Linux to Windows as my base desktop for the accessibility functions. I have cygwin installed so I can ssh to my servers. I also use VNC Viewer so I can get to a VNC session on my servers in a gui and I also use RDP to get to my Windows servers. I have decided that I loathe JAWS in the short time that I have tried it but admittedly I have not used it for very long. I so far like NVDA much better and find it much more simple to learn. I also use a Mac at home so have toyed with Voiceover. I'm beginning to think that one screen reader is not going to do it all for me. And that I just need to get used to one of them to start. NVDA can read and understand a cygwin window, which is great. It has zero idea what is inside a VNC viewer session. I haven't yet tried it on an RDP session with Windows. I know ORCA is available as well on Linux. What do you all use? Any advice? I'm wondering if I would be better off with a Mac as my base operating system since I've heard Voiceover handles Java apps better. Thanks for the advice!
