Dear core developers of Debian live,
I would like to very valuably
please somebody of us, if there is some experienced C language developer among
us. My pleasment is related to one screen reader written in C language. It is
old screen reader, named Gnopernicus.
I know, that The source code of this program have
been developed for The components of Gnome version dated to The year 2005 or
2004. But this screen reader is having very strong potential among todays
awailable at-spi compatible screen readers.
C language code is much more faster and if for
example live-magic is being generating .iso image for me, i can not observe The
process like a sighted person if Python based screen reader is running. I know,
that Orca is also using some C language code but most of The code is written in
Python. This is not bad in general, but til The time, if You will try to run
many Python applications at The same time and Orca or also SUE will try to get
some crucial information from them.
Yes, i know, that GNome is also coded by using
Python and C language, that GNome is also not programmed in C language at
all.
And that Python is made by using C language
too.
Normal user, who is not being forced to use at-spi
compatible assistive technology will never be motivated to explore such
programmers thinks. Because user will not notice any magnificant differences
while using several Python applications, which are communicating between each
other.
So my pleasment is as follows:
1: Source code of Gnopernicus screen reader is
using methods for accessing GNomespeech library. Unfortunately, The Gnomespeech
library is much more different even in Gnome included with Debian Lenny. The
difference between calls and accessing this library by using C language have
been very probably dramatically changed.
The problem is, that if Espeak is speaking and user
is using Gnopernicus and if user is pressing some key stroke, while Espeak is
still speaking, it will cause The crash.
Would somebody of us try to analyse, which parts of
C language source code ofr Gnopernicus would had to be modified?
I can not debug those thinks myself. Because triing
to use more than one at-spi compatible assistive technology at The same time is
causing severe Gnome components crashes.¨
I know, that Gnome developers even included
complete IDE for developing and debugging C language applications.
Thank You very, very much for any answer from
us.
The source code of Gnopernicus is very well
documented but it is not easy program.
