Re: Debian accessibility news



Howdy,

you can find information on
http://linux-a11y.org/
and
https://wiki.linux-a11y.org/

SOPS:
https://github.com/chrys87/simple-orca-plugin-system/releases/tag/1.01
Plugins installed by default:
- read clipboard
- read current workspace number
- Plugin manager

other available plugins:
- audiogame_launcher.sh (by storm)
- translate_clipboard.py (translate the clipboard into any language -> using translate-shell)
- weather.sh (tell the weather info using weather CLI)
- toggle-debug.py (toggle debug on/off at run-time)
- acpi.sh (announce battery)
- removePageLoadMessage.py (removes some unwanted messages for some people while browsing)
- battery.py (battery and loading announcement)
- wlan.sh (read wifi information, name, signal)
- getVolume-pulse.sh and getVolume-alsa.sh (say volume in percent)
- toggle-keyboard-layout.py (switch between laptop and desktop layout, maybe you plug an keyboard on your laptop and want to toggle it then)
- orca-version.sh (simply announce the current orca version)
- yahoo_weather.sh (say weather info using yahoo website)
and its really easy to extend since any shell script could be used to announce information. but its also powerful because you can write code to manipulate orca itself (only python)
some of the plugins may need some manual changes (like language in translation or zip code for weather) but the needed changes are really easy.

OCRPDF:

>>Is this the same as or similar to ocrmypdf?
yea its something similar but it its thought to integrate it into the right click menu of an file browser. it will bring up a gui with the result imediately

Fenrir (i will release version 1.5 next week with a _lot_ of fixes and enhancements to version 1.06, so i just post the master here and i already have some awesome stuff in pipeline for 2.0)
https://github.com/chrys87/fenrir

for people that dont want to have the awsome SOPS i also have a stand alone version of the "read clipboard" code for an orca-customizations.py here:
https://github.com/chrys87/orca-clipboard-cust/blob/master/orca-customizations.py
(it can read the text, number of objects (files, links and so on) or image data (similar to the SOPS version).

cheers chrys

the installation lol)
