Re: Accesibility in Mobian



Hi Devin,

Yeah, i just bought an PinePhone and now i hope to get it running with speech. Right now i use Mobian since i will use Debian on my laptop, just to simplify it for me, because as of now im not able to use it properly, but i hope this isnt far out in the future.

Do you know how to ssh into it?

Best kind regards

Sure, but you're talking about a smart phone, running this right? So the screen reader would have to interact with the touch screen, and the phone UI. So yeah that part is what the screen reader would have to interact with, and it's the part that most likely isn't accessible, even if you were to SSH into the machine and get Orca running.

Hi Devin,

Thanks for the fast reply.

Im not sure, if i understand you right, because Linux Debian has great accesibility, or is it somewhere else?

I talked to someone from one of the mobile Linux folks, maybe Pinephone, about a year or six months ago. They have no plans to make their OS accessible, because they say that desktop Linux must progress first in order for them to take advantage of it. So yeah.

Hi,

I just got a pinephone and have installed:
"mobian-installer-pinephone-phosh-20210516.img" on it. Im visually
impared and because of this im in need for some accesibility functions.

Can there be added a screen reader that can be enabled / disabled when
holding volume up and down for a few seconds?

Best kind regards
