Accessibility - Orca screen reader #305

Open mariachiac opened 9 years ago

mariachiac commented 9 years ago

Please make the cnchi installer accessible to the Orca screen reader. It would be a great way for a user who is visually impaired to install an arch system with out to much hassel. Currrently when antergos is first started alt-f2 has to be pressed then the user has to type Orca when normally super-alt-s can be pressed to turn on the screen reader. When the installer is launched orca can tab and these buttons are labeled "try it" "install it." This area is fine. The orca keys can be used for example (on your numberpad) 7-9 to read lines, 4-6 for words, and 1-3 for characters. This can be used to review the screen since currently you can not review the text of the screen by tabbing to a read only field. the language screen is a bit confusing in that it wraps if tab is pressed. I can hear all the languages, but I am unable to tell which is selected. I would asume this is a list view and if fixed correctly Orca can just arrow down threw the list. The only way I can tell what language is selected is by using the Orca navigation keys (the numberpad) and Orca saying a note about the installer being beta software. the buttons also need to be labeled. Currently whenI tab around I just hear button. I know they are for moving screens threw the installation process, but Orca just says button. Please make these improvements. I'll be happy to test.

@mariachiac : I'm very interested to achieve this. As I'm no Orca expert I will be bothering you from time to time, I hope you do not mind.

Cheers!
