Ubuntu 7.04 Accessibility
The new Ubuntu has just been released, so I decided to upgrade to it, and I also updated Orca and Firefox to a development releast of 3.0 (this works with Orca!)
I have not been able to get full-screen magnification working properly yet, but I am truly impressed with the other features of Orca. The new eSpeak synthesizer is just so much more responsive and easier to listen to as well in my opinion. An additional bonus is that is supports many languages.
Orca is also now doing a good job together with the upcoming Firefox 3. I logged in to the Ubuntu forums and posted a note without any problems.
One thing eSpeak needs to get better at is the way it handles a situation in which you press delete multiple times. At this point that is still very slow.
Overall all this is going in the right direction, and at quite a pace too!
