Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Hello Manuel.Everytime I read something about java it tells about how wonderful and cross-platform it is. But really, if I wanted to make a game in java for windows and then port it to android how much work would that be? I mean obviously changing the user interface from keyboard and mouse to touch screen and make it work with talkback instead of windows screen readers. Would I have to rewrite for android from scratch? I know I could use the windows source code and make adjustments but thinking about that it sounds like a whole lot of trouble.

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Hello guitarman,Yes, I think you can learn most off the basics from Python, then if you are feeling confortable you could switch to java (or keep using Python in Desktop ).Basically we are talking about the same concepts. Just these languages have some differences (as every language does), but I think the Java approach is good too, I mean, braces and stuff like that are represented in python as indented lines, but it's the same principle.

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Just think a bit about that. There's no interest in supporting widely AT-spi (the only accessibility Related API provided by gnome). There's KDE and someone developed a bridge between QT libs and AT-SPI because it's not an easy job, at all, to create libraries that can connect to a toolkit and provide accessibility related information in an easy and transparent way. It's not that you will wake up in the morning and say well, I will create my own library in C++, that will know everything about internals of GTK, QT, X11 apps, why not? And I am not sure if you know about it but Orca is part of gnome. I mean, people is being paid for developing orca, and that money comes from Igalia, Redhat and companies that are supporting Gnome. Why They should change orca instead asking to people working in KDE/QT for adding more support to AT-SPI? If other libraries don't have ANY method for orca to get information, what would be best? To apply lots of hacks to the orca 39;s codebase until it will work under these libraries or, just, connect these libraries to AT_SPI? And I am not saying noone will do it, they have tried, but you see. There's no A11y Team in KDE, same can be said about XFCE, LXDE and other desktops. I don't think you can Ask orca devs (people working for Gnome) to add support. How can you justify that extra time if you are being paid for that job? people have sent lots of emails to people working in KDE and the reply is always the same. Noone is working in A11Y right now, if you want to come, you are welcome.

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? @manuelcortez, that's the problem -- if the devs of Orca cared that would move away from at-spi, and, if needed, write their own accessibility toolkit that interfacs with all graphical toolkits.

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Hi Manuel.I get what your saying, I can use python but it would be better and easier for me to use java. I think what I'll do is learn python, learn the basics and things, then I'll try and move onto java. The reason I didn't want to use java is that I've seen code samples before and they look difficult to read. One reason I'm trying to learn python is that it doesn't have all the brackets, braces, slashes, and things like that. When I read java code I can usually figure out what it does but I have to read it over a couple of times. I think another reason I don't like it is because the language syntax looks like bgt and I've had nothing but trouble in the past with bgt but it's probably past time that I got over that lol! I didn't know you could use eclipse to compile apps for android, I have jre on my pc so I'll download eclipse so I can use it in the future.Thanks Again!

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? If Orca is so awesome like you guys claim, then why does it still not work with any other programs but GTK programs?

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Hello,1. You can develop in Android without getting into Java, but you cannot have the system integration and tons of libraries that Java can offer to your program. For example if you would like to use Pyton, you still need to install a package that includes the Python interpreter into Android. In short, it's doable, but I don't think it really worth.2. Python would need something else for understanding touch screen gestures.3. I think java would be the simplest option. This, Or C++, that I don't think could be simpler than Java.4. You can use Eclipse for compiling android apps if you don't want to use (or can't) Android studio. There are plugins for adding full Android project's integration to Eclipse. Also you can use the command line if you wouldn't want to use eclipse.5. If you use eclipse, it will do everything for you. But yes, you would need to rebuild the package and sending it to the tabled by using the USB Debug mode.

Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions?
Re: Why Are There So Many Screen Readers For Linux and Other questions? Hi.Well I want to thank you all for the responses! I didn't post earlier because I wanted to see where this topic went. Thank you very much for all the awesome responses! I've learned a lot of interesting things about linux.Well I changed the name of this topic because I had some other questions and I didn't want to create a whole lot of other topics to ask them.My questions are about android. I've been thinking about trying to learn programming for the thousandth time. I hope this time will be a success so wish me luck! Anyway I can barely code but I wondered about a few things. I have a mac and was thinking about making software for iOs, but I don't like the limitations apple puts on developers, and if I wanted to make a fre game I would still have to pay for storage fees which I don't want. I know that android apps are free to put up on the store, and google doesn't pester you as much as apple at least that's what I' ;ve heard. Well I have an android tablet so I thought it would be a good idea in the future to try something like this out. My questions are: 1. can I develop for android without getting into java? I'm going to try and learn python can I use that instead? I've heard a lot about how you can't really get into android without getting into java. 2. Does python understand touch screen and jairo and all that neat stuff? 3. If I can't use python is their another simple language I can use? 4. What do I use to compile apps? I've seen android studio and android sdk but I don't quite understand exactly how they work. 5. When I add new features to an android app do I have to compile then test on the tablet, then work some more then compile again and test again? Or is there an easier way to do this.Like I said, I'm not ready to do this yet I'm just curious how it would work. I'm going to use learn python the hard wa y to see if I can learn to code. I think it would be better to learn the basics on windows then move on to other things but I would still like to know how all this works. Even though I don't know how to code I find what programmers do very fascinating, even if I can't understand everything they're talking about. This probably belongs in the developers room but I'm not developing anything yet so I figured I'd put it here lol!Thanks.

Re: Linux and other questions Regarding the second question: Are you using sudo/root while doing it? The permission is denied probably because if I remember correctly, regular users dont have permission to modify /usr/lib directory.

Re: Linux and other questions I used the file browser it is the Lib skype.sys file. I will have to try on the command line. Did you get skype to work on Linux?

Re: Linux and other questions
Re: Linux and other questions As far as copying files to a directory you dont have permission to access you have a couple of options. The first option is to launch your file manager using gksudo and then youll have root access to your entire drive. The other option is to open a terminal and copy the file via sudo likesudo cp filename destinationwhere file name is the name of your file to be copied and destination is the path to the directory you want to copy to.As far as Skype goes if you get Qt setup correctly you can use Skype itself with Orca. It is a bit of a pain to get to work correctly with Orca but it can be done if you have qt-at-spi installed and your environment configured to use qt-at-spi in Qt based applications.Unfortunately, Audacity is the most accessible audio editor available for Linux right now. It is accessible, but making it work with Orca is not intuitive. You are going to have to use the review cursor and point and click on things with th e mouse to make Audacity work with Orca. You cant just tab around and expect things to read. That said, I use Audacity all the time with Orca, and once you get good with using the Orca review keys and can learn to point and click on things youll find that most things are accessible enough.

Re: Linux and other questions Regarding to question four, there is an American radio called Power 181.FM. it broadcasts the latest and the best music. Also, it is available for download as PLS file, and while you use it with Winamp or any other media player, you can get the name and the title of the song.

Linux and other questions
Linux and other questions I have a fue Questions.1. In Linux Im trying to copy a file to another directory but cant because of permissions. It is a file I downloaded from the Internet.2. Im trying to get skype to work with Orka Under Linux and am using the pidgin is there any other way I can use skype with Orka. Im trying to the copy the file that I need to copy to the usr/lib/pidgin directory but cant.3. I use Audacity but have noticed that most of all the dialogs and the selection bar are not accessible in Linux using Orka. So Im asking is there any good audio editors accessible with Orka under Linux.Note: Im using Zoran OS Witch is based on Ubuntu.4. My final question is not related to Linux. Is there a accessible list or table on the Internet that I can get a update of new released top40 music. I have tried looking on billboard but there is no chart or at lleast there might be I just cant find it.
