[Blind-sysadmins] Re: kali accessible?

Just a quick update. I've upgraded Kali to the latest version. This is a VM on VMWare Workstation 12 Pro. There is still no speach. Text mode might work but I'd rather use Windows and ssh in instead. Even with speach working in graphical mode, there is still the issue of many of the tools not being accessible with orca. E.g. Berp Suite. There are a couple of posts on the Kali forums about the lack of speach. No one's answered. pretty poor really since being based of Debian, this should work. I've not got the time or inclination to route through the logs and try to work out what's going on ATM. Regards Chris Turner On 30/05/2018 16:06, Jackie McBride wrote:

Hey Chris T, they do have a text mode in Kali. I don't know if that would be any more helpful or not.

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.

Hi,

How did you get speech going in kali2? Does kali2 have ssh going?

Thanks. Dave.
