G'day, I'm not blind and have done a quick search of the resources.
Two which should be useful are VIBUNTU - UBUNTU LINUX FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED http://www.ascience-thematic.net/en/news/Vibuntu This is from the RNIB in the UK. The second one is Vinux, which I believe you have Vinux - A talking linux distro for blind and visually impaired users http://www.unixmen.com/news-today/1016-vinux-a-talking-linux-distro-for-blin d-and-visually-impaired-users A discussion about Vinux can be found at http://www.linux-archive.org/ubuntu-user/404252-ubuntu-visually-impaired.htm l I'll also suggest having a look and listen to a podcast Going Linux : http://goinglinux.com/shownotes.html they have talked about this in a recent episode. Hope these are of use.

So here I am, I am a 33 year old single parent of two small children. I am legally blind with some very limitted sight. Not enough how ever to read text on screen or see an mouse pointer. Though I see boxes popup and different blended colours I do rely on speakup and gnome-orca. I have been using bsd/nix for about 8 years in a very small capacity i.e servers httpd ircd ftpd etc. I now use Ubuntu via Vinux and have done for two years. It was suggested to subscribe here as I am very interested in bleeding edge technology and usually my interest outweight my abilities :) I look forward to trying to assist the list and watching how it works, how tasks are assigned and hope to be able to contribute in the future. Kind regards Rob Whyte -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
