[Bug 195209] Re: Improving accessibility for visualy impaired users

 

If you want to request a feature for LinuxDC++, then please open a new
bug instead of attaching to this old, generic accessibility bug that's
by and large specific to the Windows version. At a cursory glance of the
issue though, speech recognition in linux is almost non-existent and
still in its early stages. Speech recognition would need to be added
first to GTK+/ATK/GAIL, so it's really a non-starter until that happens.

Bug description:
Dear,

I alert you about using dc++ with JAWS (Job Access With Speech) for Windows a screen reader dedicated to visualy aimpaired users.

Indeed, we have some troubles issues for using it with JAWS.

For exemple :
No possibility to switch between settings tabs with keyboard ;
Tab key doesn't work on PM (needed to read messages from others users) but works on main chat area ;
we cannot switch to almost client windows and read content with arrows without using mouse befor ;
no possibility to set special sound for main chat messages, PM and favorites users PM, important to know in which window we receved message ;
And much more ...

There for, i have to emulate mouse for some kind of those tasks but, it would be really great if all of them may be usable without this action (directly with keyboard) :)

Best regards
