Announcing Orca v2.23.91

Recommended Posts

===============

* What is Orca?

===============

 

Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader that

provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable

combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification. Orca development

has been led by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office

via continued engagement with its end users and generous contributions

from the Mozilla Foundation and wonderful community members.

 

The Orca v2.23.91 release is targeted for the GNOME v2.23.91 development

release and requires the latest at-spi/pyatspi infrastructure from GNOME

v2.23.91, including atk and gail.
