Question:
hi whats a good screen reader (accessibility tool) for linux. im on sway and nixos. bonus points if its code repo hasnt been llm tainted
Answer:
Based on results online, the options on Linux are pretty limited. There are primarily two options:
- GNOME Orca - most battle-tested standard for SRs for Linux. It is 14 years old so the code should at least mostly be human written. The source is available at https://github.com/GNOME/orca.
- Odilia - a fast screenreader specifically made for *nix in Rust. It is, however, very immature, so be careful. Source code available at https://github.com/odilia-app/odilia.
For TTY workflows there also exists Fenrir, which is old as Orca :)
P.S. don't forget to make QT/GTK more accessible:
export NO_AT_BRIDGE=0
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
