[Trainer-talk] Linux; Orca in OpenSuse

[Blaine Clark]

There is an OpenSuse specific forum thread for Orca here;
forums.opensuse.org/orca 
<http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/469207-accessibility-using-orca-screen-reader-gnome-3-a.html>

For general information and documentation on Orca, see here;
gnome.org/Orca <https://live.gnome.org/Orca>
Be advised that the live.gnome.org sites are running slow, at least for 
me. Give them time to load.

Orca has magnification capabilities, but I've never found it to be 
stable on any machine or Linux build especially when run at the same 
time with Orca in speech mode, so I'll recommend gnome-mag to run 
alongside of Orca as it reads if you need magnification at the same 
time. Yes, it can help a great deal to run both and get the full 
benefits of each. To get info on gnome-mag see here;
gnome.org/Magnification <https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Magnification>

As for a specific point-of-sale program and problems with it's 
compatibility with Orca, see if you can get some input from the program 
developer. If there is a major problem with compatibility, check on 
every forum you can find regarding both Orca and POS programs to see if 
there's one that's better suited to operate with Orca.
