if ubuntustudio uses gnome, unity, or gnome shell desktops then its just
a matter of making sure at-spi and qt-at-spi are up to date, gnome-orca
is installed and latest espeak is installed. Orca may need scripted to
work better with some audio apps and midi apps.

Hi,
I'd be happy to investigate further. I used to work for the Swedish
Association for the Visually Impaired as a sound engineer and later on
with IT development, especially starting up the DAISY project
(www.daisy.org <http://www.daisy.org>). I actually recorded and created
the very first DAISY book (yes, I'm still very proud of it ;) )
Kind regards
Jimmy

Hi Josh,
since Ubuntu has got so many GTK issues nowadays, with or without the
GNOME 3 PPA, I suspect you better go with another distro. But I might be
mistaken, so I recommend to join the Linux audio users mailing list,
since several blind people are subscribed to this list. I guess for
making music you better use Braille and text based applications instead
of Orca, but I might be mistaken again, so join the list:

I'm forwarding this message so I don't forget later. We should probably
look at including accessibility features for Ubuntu Studio and see if
Xubuntu would be in need for some as well.

Hello,
I checked the ubuntu studio manifest. I am a blind Ubuntu user wanting
to use ubuntu studio and other blind and disabled people would benefit
from this as well. But in ubuntu studio13.10 could you please add the
latest version of the gnome-orca screen reader, at-spi and qt-at-spi the
espeak speech synthesizer and svox pico synthesizers and the propper
speech dispatcher modules? I know of some blind people who ubuntu studio
would benefit. Also if any audio related software is found to be not
accessible with the Orca screen readers and braille displays using
brltty perhaps you could help to fix such issues?
thanks,
Josh
