[01:52] <JackyAlcine_> This year's focus for KDE tech in GSoc and the Summer of KDE is on a11y.
[09:36] <Fudge> AlanBell  so maybe not worth installing that ppa then?
[09:40] <AlanBell> not really
[09:47] <Fudge> ok AlanBell  here is something, context menus on right click read out, so i wonder why the other ones dont
[09:47] <Fudge> wouldnt the accessibility stuff be the same?
[09:56] <AlanBell> probably not, the global menu is not really a real menu
[09:59] <Fudge> well thats poxy
[10:00] <Fudge> seems to make things more difficult then
[10:38] <AlanBell> yeah, it is a bit of a mess with eyes if that is any consolation
[10:38] <Fudge> ho hum I say AlanBell 
[10:38] <Fudge> menus have been broken for quite a while now, still seem to cope though
[10:38] <Fudge> heard 3d is a mess a11y though
[10:39] <Fudge> might install xfce-desktop see how i goes
[17:14] <DomasoFan> hi guys.
[17:14] <jalcine> 'ello DomasoFan
[17:15] <DomasoFan> wonder if ubuntu 12.04 gets fully accessible until the release date. has someone tried xubuntu or lubuntu?
[17:16] <jalcine> They're working diligently on it. I use Kubuntu primarily, however.
[17:18] <DomasoFan> how does KDE with accessibility?
[17:25] <jalcine> Not the best, imho.
[17:25] <jalcine> Jovie, the speech synthesis service, isn't up to par.
[17:26] <DomasoFan> ah ok. so to start it i hit alt+f2 in a kubuntu session and enter jovie and hit enter and it should come up. might try that in a preinstalled VM
[17:53] <DomasoFan> ah jovie is just a tts app. ok. not a screenreader then it seems.
[18:21] <DomasoFan> anyone knows if its possible to use xubuntu or lubuntu with orca?
[20:50] <maco> DomasoFan: they both use gtk apps right? so the applications at the very least should work
[20:50] <maco> xfce's whole interface is gtk, so it should work too
[21:07] <DomasoFan> hmm. might try something tomorrow then. heard there has to be some modifications but don't know anymore. might investigate first.
