If you mean things like: * Only speak displayed text and NOT context (roles, states, etc.) * Sentence keyboard echo (you type a sentence, Orca speaks it) * Read the object under the mouse These things were all added prior to 8/18/2010 (because that is the date in which I told you via the oats-sig list that these things were in place). Having said that.... Orca is a screen reader; Orca is not a tool designed for users who are not visually impaired. Trying to make Orca into a one-size-fits-all tool will inevitably turn it into a tool whose functionality is either too complex or too diluted, meeting no one's needs. :( Thus Orca will continue to focus on providing the best support possible to users who are blind or have a significant visual impairment. Someone(s) else should work towards addressing the needs of the user populations being discussed in this thread. And in the end, hopefully we'll have compelling, distinct solutions for each group. Take care. --joanie _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
