Re: Touchscreen interaction
I think that for the best example of touch screen interaction, Android probably is the best bet. All the API's that matter are open source, and although not all versions of the Talkback screen reader have their source code released, full source code is in fact available for new enough versions to get an idea of how the interactions work. That said, though Android does contain a Linux kernel, it is not at all a Linux distribution, so much of the fundamentals will be different, just like looking at any other OS for inspiration. I only mention Android here because the source code is mostly open and fairly well documented. ~Kyle ___ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list

I don't know what NVDA offers, but Android handles the touch screen quite well. When you move your finger around the screen, the speech/braille tells you what your finger has moved onto. To click, you double tap. To long click, you tap then hold. There are many gestures. For example, a right/left swipe moves to the next/previous item. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke| 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ___ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list

Which kind of interaction do you have? AIUI the current support on Linux is that it can trigger clicks, but do you mean that a different mode of interaction would allow to check what widget you have before clicking, for instance?

Touchscreen interaction
Hello, I saw your posts about mouse/keyboard input, but what about touch interfaces? Currently I am using windows and I have a touch screen, with NVDA. It has support for it and sometimes it is faster to interact with controls using it in place of keyboard. However, I didn't found any library for touchscreen interaction, and orca will need a redesign from the ground to support it appropriately. Are there any plans about these things?
