Orca is Open Source, so it is available to rewrite the code as desired. It
is designed to work with the gnome desktop. It probably works somewhat with
other desktop managers. It is the most accessible graphical desktop for
Linux at the moment. It can use a few different synthesizers and voices.
There are several screen readers for Linux. Vinux comes with several
configured. It has Orca running for the gnome desktop, and SpeakUp running
if you switch to a console, at startup. It also has one or two configured
to be started by a hotkey, but I have never needed or bothered with those.
It also has two magnifiers configured, Orca and compaz (not sure of
spelling).

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] MAC and Safari
Hi All:
I would like to know the screen readers that support on MAC and Safari.
I heard that Voice Over comes in-built with MAC, but not sure.
I would also like to know whether Orca supports any other Operating
System(s) besides Linux / Vinux.
I would also like to know the different screen readers that support
with respect to different OS.
Thanks and regards,
Silpa.
