Any pi users here able to  advise about this setup?
My concern is what applications might not work,  as a deciding factor to 
bother.
Conversation on a list focused on adaptive technology   and the pi,  is 
not  yielding much  information  on, so thought I might ask here instead.




The Raspberry Pi team reached out to an accessibility charity known as 
AbilityNet to help evaluate the Raspberry Pi desktop environment for 
improvements. Raspbian now supports Orca screen reader. Orca is compatible with 
most applications that use GTK or Qt toolkits. Other toolkits aren't compatible 
and may or may not work. You can also find a new pixel doubling feature in the 
Raspberry Pi Configuration menu, improving screen visibility for visually 
impaired persons.
