Re: Accesibility in Mobian



Sure, but you're talking about a smart phone, running this right? So the screen reader would have to interact with the touch screen, and the phone UI. So yeah that part is what the screen reader would have to interact with, and it's the part that most likely isn't accessible, even if you were to SSH into the machine and get Orca running.

Hi Devin,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Im not sure, if i understand you right, because Linux Debian has great accesibility, or is it somewhere else?

Best kind regards

I talked to someone from one of the mobile Linux folks, maybe Pinephone, about a year or six months ago. They have no plans to make their OS accessible, because they say that desktop Linux must progress first in order for them to take advantage of it. So yeah.

Hi,

I just got a pinephone and have installed:
"mobian-installer-pinephone-phosh-20210516.img" on it. Im visually
impared and because of this im in need for some accesibility functions.

Can there be added a screen reader that can be enabled / disabled when
holding volume up and down for a few seconds?

Best kind regards
