If speech-dispatcher is available (some things I've read says orca uses it), then TDSR https://github.com/tspivey/tdsr <https://github.com/tspivey/tdsr> (which is in Python 3) perhaps could be as well. Presumably TDSR isn't already packaged for OpenIndiana, but if speech-dispatcher is available, that shouldn't be too difficult for someone into packaging.
This is JUST the result of a few minutes googling. I have no idea of the feasibility or utility of the possible result. I've never needed such things for myself nor been required to be part of providing accessibility support for others beyond voluntarily researching relevant (Windows or macOS) builtin features for acquaintances that couldn't figure it out for themselves. I usually sit at macOS these days although I have Solaris, Windows, assorted Linux, and other OSs at least occasionally running at home; and the only accessibility feature I use is macOS screen zoom sometimes, since I'm somewhat nearsighted but no longer focus really close either, so I usually use the computer without glasses as a compromise. > On Jun 1, 2025, at 08:35, Aaron Hewitt <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I've been a long-time Linux user. > > Recently, I have been considering the switch to OpenIndiana. > > I checked the OpenIndiana package repository and found that Orca, the screen > reader I use under Linux, is available. > > What I could not find, however, was any reference to a console-based Screen > Reader. > > Does such a thing exist for OpenIndiana, for the cases where a graphical > session is not functional or not required? > > Best regards, > Aaron. > _______________________________________________ > openindiana-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss > _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
