Orca is very good in a terminal window. But it is no where near as good as jaws when you're using a web browser. Freedom Scientific put a considerable effort into customizing jaws to work with browsers. That functionality hasn't been reproduced in any free screen reader I know of. In fact, I believe the jaws find feature that is so important when using a browser is the subject of the lawsuit that Freedom Scientific slapped on the company that makes Window-eyes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "White, Matt" <matt.bsa@wh1t3.net> To: <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 10:46 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] sysadmin tools (was: what is system administrator)
Window-Eyes seems to work fine with Putty--even with menu-driven applications like the Linux kernel config.
I recently setup a OpenSolaris machine and was surprised to find that Orca works pretty well--especially in GnomeTerminal. This may be an option worth investigating.
