Orca's an internal name, Gnome is trying to generalize it. They want it to just be called Gnome's screen reader. Yeah it works fairly well, but for server installs no need for a GUI, just manage via SSH.

The screen reader, orca,is not as stable/nice as jaws but you can do just fine with it. On 05/29/2015 10:27 AM, Chamandeep Singh Grover wrote:
Hi All, Sorry for the off topic post. I have always been very interested to work with Ruby on rails, I have created a few apps on windows, however it is not considered the best method in industry to use Windows for developing Ruby on Rails applications. So my question is, How accessible is Linux and Ubuntu for me if I am moving from Windows 8 with Jaws. I understand they are completely different environments and different ways of working, but is the accessibility stable enough for me to consider looking into this further as a career? Or does setting up and negotiating with accessibility issues take much longer and therefore will generally be unproductive. Has anyone on this list attempted to use something like Ruby mine or Sublime text?
Look forward to your comments. Chamandeep singh Grover
