hi all emacs Inaccessibility to Screen reader(orca) I do not know this is called bug or not But its problem for the blinds users It is good When I use it without x but in x its Inaccessibility to Screen reader(orca) -- Think not of them, thou hast thy music too
Hi, I'm not familiar with Orca. Just FYI - you can try Emacspeak, which turns Emacs into a "complete audio desktop".

I can't tell what is meant by "emacs inaccessibility" exactly. Is this
bug the same as #1015, and #4103 (Emacs gtk hangs Orca)?.

I will assume yes.

I don't think this has anything to do with 1015. It seems pretty clear to me from the original report. When run in graphical mode, Emacs is not accessible to the Orca screen reader. Ie, Orca cannot read the text in Emacs. One has to run "emacs -nw" in eg a gnome-terminal to get things to work. Ref eg https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2015-October/msg00278.html

Oh, I see, the term "accessibility" has a very particular meaning in the
context of screen readers (I had thought it was just odd word choice in
the original report).

I found this bug report pretty confusing, too, but the request is for Emacs to support the Orca screen reader, which is a Gnome thing. To do this, Emacs has to implement a Gnome API: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/introduction.html.en The report states that "emacs -nw" works fine -- but according to some experimentation, that seems to be because Terminal (the Gnome xterm-a-like) supports Orca. Emacs itself doesn't support Orca at all. I know nothing about these things, so I wonder: Is Orca used much? Are there other competing screen-reader APIs that would be better to focus on? Is Orca more convenient to use than Emacspeak? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no

We run around and act silly on top of it, and when we die, may our remnants grace its ongoing incrementation.
