One more package, have you trie BrailleBlaster? I’m hoping that could be added too, which would make Slint half way good enough for educational purposes, the other half being a good program for learning to type. >>> >>>> On Jan 7, 2019, at 8:49 AM, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> ocrdesktop will be added if possible, of which I am optimistic: I just have to check that it be compatible with tesseract-4, that will be also shipped. >>>> >>>> espeak will be replaced by the latest espeak-ng, brltty will be updated to the latest version, as pretty much all accessibility software like Orca and speech-dispatcher. >>>> >>>> So I hope that at least part of the issues you mention will be solved. >>>> >>>> I'll join on irc.talkabout.cf a stile permits. >>>> >>>> Best, >>>> >>>> Didier >>>> >>>> On 07/01/2019 15:22, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >>>>> I’m using Slint on bare metal. The sound issue I’ve found is that with eSpeak, speech is not stopped instantly when interrupted with either new speech or the control key, and sound effects, if played quickly, do not play one at a time. Also, the Mate desktop seems to be rather slow, like after launching a program that requires my password to run, Orca freezes. >>>>> Will packages like OcrDesktop, a program for using OCR text recognition on applications which aren’t accessible, be added?
