Source: debtags Severity: normal Hello,
This is actually an old idea that never got implemented, but some recent discussion showed that it would be really useful, basically: users would like to have accessibility::accessible-with::foobar tags for applications. More precisely, these are the kinds of tags that can be thought of: to describe whether the package is technically accessible: - accessibility::accessible-with::at-spi which can for example be basically applied to all gtk, qt, and java graphical applications. That wouldn't necessarily mean usability, just that technically the content of the application is available to screen readers. to describe whether the package is actually accessible via some medium: - accessibility::accessible-with::braille - accessibility::accessible-with::speech depending on the software it may be usable or not with braille or speech. A user interface can for instance be very tedious to read with speech while being fine with braille to describe whether the package is actually accessible via some screen reader: - accessibility::accessible-with::orca - accessibility::accessible-with::brltty - accessibility::accessible-with::speakup - accessibility::accessible-with::yasr - (other screen readers...) there, users of the corresponding screen reader can set it whether they consider it's usable with the corresponding screen reader. This tag may seem to have some overlaps with the braille&speech above, but it doesn't: a package may be accessible with orca's braille, but not with orca's speech. A package may be accessible with speakup's speech, but not brltty's speech. Actually, perhaps we'd rather have - accessibility::accessible-with::orca-braille - accessibility::accessible-with::orca-speech - accessibility::accessible-with::brltty-braille - accessibility::accessible-with::brltty-speech - accessibility::accessible-with::speakup-speech - accessibility::accessible-with::yasr-speech And then debian-accessibility@ people can use https://debtags.debian.org/edit/ to submit them according to their experience.
