Re: status of orca on latest ubuntu

Ubuntu 12.04, the current Long Term Stable (LTS) release is accessible. You can install it by starting Orca with the control+s keystroke after you hear the drums during boot up.

Another option is vinux 4 from http://vinuxproject.org/ This is also based on Ubuntu 12.04 but Orca will come up automatically during boot up. Speakup also works in the console and a few other accessible applications  and useful tweaks have been included for the blind user.

Hello,

 

I tried ubuntu 12.10 and found that with the unity desktop environment that it was very unfriendly for a blind user.

 

What is the current status of  ubuntu’s accessibility?

 

Also what are the steps for installation of ubuntu using a screenreader?
