Using R with screenreading software
...changed to a blinking one, she should be able to access the command line and outputs. For my last exam she used R in a Dosbox as workaround, but encountered other problems, esp. with scrolling. So: Is it possible to change the cursor type/behavior in R-Console? She uses R 2.8.1, Windows 2000, and screenreader Virgo 4.6 from Baum Retec, if that is any help.

Is anyone using the Orca screenreader?
Orca is a daemon written in Python and C which presents the contents of a Gnome screen to a blind person in speech or braille. It is on the CentOS 5.6 disks. Has anyone on this list used it? If so, what was your experience? I am developing the BrailleBlaster tactile literacy application. Since I am both blind and deaf, I will be using a braille display. I also need to make sure that the

Surfing the web via Asterisk.
Has anyone attempted making the web phone accessible? I can only find one company which operated between 1996 and 2000. I was thinking, install Chrome with Chromevox, headless, on a server, and use something like an AGI to send basic keyboard commands to navigate a page, as a screenreader user would, and pipe the audio back to a channel, to be streamed by Asterisk. (Bear with me here - it's a project for blind people involving a telephone and some lateral thinking!) And yes, I mean more than just CURL a page, tts it and then read. I'm talking about using the keypad to navi...

Surfing the web via Asterisk.
Ah, no, you misunderstand. Asterisk wouldn't care one little bit what is on the page - Chromevox would do all that. A screenreader usually tabs or arrows their way about, selecting headings to read content. Thus, Asterisk ONLY needs to be able to hear content FROM the browser and pipe it to the channel, and pass keypresses back TO the browser. The human is the parser, if that makes sense?

Icecast won't start on system boot
...gt; </security> > >That's why I always use an editor with *syntax highlighting* :) Well that's a good idea in theory, but it couldn't possibly be highlighted enough to help me because I'm totally blind. No worries though. Just have to pay better attention to what my screenreader is (or, in this case, isn't) telling me.

Setting up a Virtual Machine
I have CentOS 5.7. How would I go about setting up a virtual machine so as to run another Linux distro on top of it? Specifically Scientific Linux or Vinux, a special distro for blind users. I will be using the latter to test my BrailelBlaster software with gtk and the Orca screenreader. Will I have to assign memory to the VM permanently? Thanks, John -- John J.

Accessibility of automatic e-mail links
Hi all, I'm working on usability and accessibility for a project that uses Markdown. When I tried out a screenreader on the automatic e-mail links, I noticed that there's nothing there semantically due to obfuscation. I think that obfuscation in this way is a neat feature, I hadn't heard about it before. This would be even better if there was a way to both obfuscate e-mail addresses and provide title t...

R interface for blind users: Summary
...front end (see p. 9 of http://stat-computing.org/newsletter/issues/scgn-16-2.pdf). Within the next days he kindly collaborated with the manufacturer of our screen reader and implemented a blinking cursor in the R-GUI. My student installed R-devel 2.12.0 as suggested and is happily using R with her screenreader. - Brett Presnell (presnell at stat.ufl.edu) suggested R + Emacs + ESS + Emacspeak <URL:http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/> - Roopakshi Pathania [r_akshi_tgk at yahoo.com] suggested using R in Linux, where 2 screen readers (Speakup for text console, Orca for Gnome) are available. For Windo...
