Re: [Blind-sysadmins] kali accessible?

Hey Chris T, they do have a text mode in Kali. I don't know if that would be any more helpful or not. On 5/30/18, Chris Turner via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

I can't remember how I got Orca running in Kali 2. The usual way I think, alt, super AKA windows key, and S.

There was a problem with the sound being muted. Though this may have been on Kali 1. Again, it was a while ago.

Now this has come up, I'm just upgrading kali 3. We'll see if speach works then.

I've never heard of this particular Linux distribution. In general, you're more likely to achieve accessible results if you use a distribution for which accessibility support is actively maintained, such as Debian or Arch. GRML used to be actively maintained too, but I haven't run it recently. There are also some custom distributions specifically designed to be screen reader accessible, with built-in and enabled screen readers (e.g., Speakup, Orca and BRLTTY).

Using other distributions is fine, of course, but you're more likely to shoulder the responsibility of fixing any issues in the packaging or default installation of accessibility-related tools.

The accessibility of Ubuntu used to be actively supported, but Canonical appear to have dismissed the only developer who understood screen readers and who was active in this area.

Thanks. Dave.
