State of accessibility in linux

[Ricky Enger]

Hi Marcel,
Orca is designed quite differently than Gnopernicus, and its major 
advantage is that there is almost no learning curve involved in terms 
of being able to use the screen reader.  Orca speaks most information 
automatically, and if there is a need for using flat review, you can 
activate it with a single keystroke.  At that point, the keystrokes 
for reviewing are much like those in Speakup.
Right now, web browsing is still a bit cumbersome, but everything 
else works quite well.  GAIM, Star/OpenOffice, email, file browsing, 
system administration tools, the list goes on and on.
