Salut à tous ! J'ai trouvé ceci sur la liste anglophone program-l.
Il s'agit d'un message dans lequel sont recapitulé les distributions linux accessibles. Je n'ai pas eu le courage de le traduire, mais j'ose espérer que cela ne gènera pas le plus grand nombre. Une parenthèse par rapport aux traduction de langue, il va faloir qu'il soit trouvé une solution pour rendre cette tache moins chiante pour les déficients visuels. Car faire des aller et retour dans un documents, ou des basculement entre deux documents n'a rien d'une partie de plaisir. Sur ce, Attention le voici: hi are you looking for how linux and windows differ or which distros to try? There are currently ... 5 distros that are the most accessible, although any linux distribution which includes orca is usable by a blind person, although not all are accessible to install. Thery are: sonar. A distribution based on arch which has both gnome and mate flavors available. Orca is preconfigured to start when the live cd boots, and braille support is also available out of the box if you have a braille display. I use this one. Mate is more similar to windows xp/vista/7 in terms of look and feel, while gnome is more similar to windows 8.1. Arch linux. If you want to use this one, you want to download the talking arch distro from http://www.talkingarch.tk. Arch is probably more geared towards the linux advanced user, although it is installable and usable by a novice, if you are willing to follow the tutorials available on the arch wiki. There are three others, all debian based. Ubuntu, trisquel, and vinux. Ubuntu uses an interface called unity, which is sort of a hybrid between windows 8 and 7, having both touch screen support and a traditional desktop, menus, icons, etc. Trisquel is a "free software" only distribution, so you won't find support for hardware that needs binary firmware, and a lot do. There's also ubuntu mate, which is ubuntu without the unity interface, but with mate instead. Vinux is basically ubuntu with orca preconfigured to start by default, and a different sound theme and wallpaper than ubuntu itself. As for how linux and windows differ accessibility wise ... it's not black and white. There are applications that work better in windows than in linux, such as firefox, although orca's recent improvements in this area make it a lot less of a gap than it used to be. There are also programs taht work better in linux than in windows, gimp and pidgin being good examples. Libreoffice is supposed to work in both windows and linux with screen readers, but I couldn't get it working in windows at all last time I tried. It works out of the box with orca. Things in linux are said slightly differently. To give you an example. A button in linux is said as push button, or toggle button. Toggle buttons are buttons which have either an on or off state, whereas push buttons are just ... well, buttons. The area of the desktop where your icons go is typically said as desktop. Icon view layored pane, instead of "desktop list". text fields are usually said as "text" in applications other than web browsers, and "entry" in browsers. NO idea why. If you can get used to the way things are said, it shouldn't be too difficult. I'm not a programmer, so I can't speak to whether linux or windows is better to develop under. There are people who are on both sides of the fence I'd expect. I do know that there are at least a few accessible ides, bluefish being one, eclipse being another, which work out of the box with orca. Hope this helps, this is a lot to write.
