| * AccessibilityHowto - How to install and use the accessibility features available in Ubuntu * AccessibilityResources - Useful links relating to accessibility on Linux * [Accessible GNOME applications] - A list of what applications are usable with the GNOME accessibility tools * There is an IRC channel to discuss accessibility for Ubuntu on freenode.net in #ubuntu-accessibility. == Goals for Hoary == ''Enter suggestions for accessibility improvements to be worked on for the Hoary release:'' * [Accessible Hoary Live CD Derivative] == Goals for Breezy == ''Enter suggestions for accessibility improvements to be worked on for the Breezy release:'' * Link to Ubuntu DownUnder Specification: [http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/AccessibilityRoadmap] * [Accessibility Aware Installer] * [Single Click Install] * Resolve [Access Keys Conflicts] * Some comments in regard to the Accessibility Roadmap linked to above: AccessibilityRoadmapDetails == Accessibility Wishlist == ''List anything here that would be a nice to have, but doesn't look like happening in the future, due to necessary outside participation, etc:'' * [Unified Speech Synthesis API] * '''Hearing and Speech Impairments''' (Kevin Cole) Computer accessability often looks at vision-impairments and mobility-impairments, without giving much thought to deafness and speech pathologies. While I don't have a LOT of ideas about computer tools that would be useful, a few that come to mind are: * Text-to-Speech (a la Festival, etc, which I see mentioned just above this entry) * Speech-to-Text (a tougher problem) * ASCII-to-Baudot and vice versa (Really *-to-Baudot and Baudot-to-*) * Video-conferencing (mbone, openh323) |
