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.
