Hi Bill,
Congratulations ! You did it !
And it's nearly as well written as what you would produce with eyes
opened, I guess.
My guess is that Gnopernicus' support for speech is much, much better
than what it is for braille, cause I could certainly not do what you did
in braille, I think.

Hi Thomas,
Strange, it seems there is also a case problem in your mail, just like
in the one of Bill.
Concerning gnome's accessibility through gnopernicus:
I can believe very easily that it is possible thanks to a speech
synthesis. However, I don't believe gnopernicus' support for braille is

Locktones sounds like a good idea. Perhaps it could be implemented in
gnopernicus as what Janina sometimes calls earcons.
Yes, I'm sure that's just the kind of thing she's referring to.
There's no reason

Hi:
Orca attempts to address this problem by using a different
voice when speaking uppercase characters/words. The
default is to merely raise the pitch of the normal voice,
but it is configurable to be any voice from any synthesizer
one might want to use.

Agreed. In an earlier implementation of AccessX, we had
a ToggleKeys feature that would provide an audible indication
when the state of a lockable key changed. I'm sitting behind
an archaic system right now, so I cannot test whether we
rolled this forward into XKB and/or whether the GNOME

Hi Dave,
Many/most Braille users have their hearing, and so your locktones application,
or something like it, makes a lot of sense. But for deaf-blind, or for people
who otherwise want an audio-free environment, do you think some sort of
dot-pattern keyboard status indicator on the Braille

you think some sort of dot-pattern keyboard status indicator on the Braille

Hi Bill,
Here is some user feedback from a user using Gnome, and what I would
like to see access for in htenear and not to distant future.

leader in web browsers, and it would be the best choice for the Sun Java

It is vital to our survival that we do not agree too quickly with such

Hi,
Bill is right. We shouldn't sell the Gnome access to short yet. After
all there is work that needs to be done, but we have achieved huge
breakthroughs in access already.
For example, three years ago i could do nothing at all in Gnome. Now,
I daily use Evolution for my email, mozilla as my
Greetings,
There is no doubt that Gnome access is, at the moment, inferior to Windows
access for visually impaired people. However, those of us who were using
computers when Windows started will remember the problems we had then. I,
for one, appreciate very much the work that's being done
