The few blind users I've tried to migrate to OOo gave it up as bad job, because their screen reader was incompatible with OOo. (The basic responses I received were: "Until OOo is fully compatible with, and rewritten to support JAWS, forget OOo because OOo is dysfunctional", and "Until JAWS is available for Linux, forget Linux." [If somebody can point me to a screen reader for Linux, that is fully compatible with JAWS --- this includes all keystroke sequences, _and_ scripts -- I'd appreciate it.] ) jonathon - -- Non-list email sent to this email address is forwarded to Dave Null, unread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvgZeUACgkQVyQBHg3MfvTaoACePOEKU/jMNljNTwHA4HLm8lDt 3LoAnRrOshBTclWZvMi36cPXBnuiF6oP =NgLm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
