It would be nice to adjust the void live setup module to account for these via an additional kernel command line parameter. What do you think?
yes, good idea
I've tested the espeakup parts pretty well - live.screenreader
in the kcl works, and can be done with the keystrokes:
e<down><down><down><down><down><down><down><end>live.screenreader<F10>
(this should be added to the docs at some point) and will be installed if doing a local install.
I think orca should maybe be a future effort: it is definitely harder to get working, and seems more complex to set up overall.
they are a minimal increase to the size of the live images, but I think they are an important accessibility feature to add.
neither is enabled by default, but they are easily enabled via
ln -s /etc/sv/espeakup /var/service
or runningorca -r
(this should also be documented in void-docs eventually).Should these also be included in the rpi images and the various ROOTFS/PLATFORMFSes too?
Testing
live images for testing are here: https://devspace.voidlinux.org/abby/live-a11y/
enable-espeakup
script, maybe), to minimise the chance for errors in typing theln
command without a screenreader (for users who need it)
