Hi,
I think it would be much better to implement accessibillity for visualy
impared people when building an os, than having to find ways to make that
possible when everything is built and running. Nvda is a good opensource
screenreader for windows The only big problem is, it heavily depends on
msaa and iaccessible which will not be included in reactos i suppose.
So: what would be the way to make this os accessible for the blind?
I am not a programmer at all so maybe i say stupid things. The most simple
way i could think of is, creating a textmode environment. In this case i
do not mean just a command prompt, like dos, but the full functions but
without graphical interface(like the browser browsh, www.brow.sh) can do
using a headless-firefox to open pages without needing anny graphical
interface(in monochrome mode it displays just text, but is able to
stream youtube/everything firefox can handle). If something like
that can be created in reactos, the only thing needed is to make the
windows binaries of brltty work and much of the accessibility would be
ready to use, as long as every graphic element is banned from the screen
otherwise blrtty will display just lines with ??????????????? on the
braille display.
I am curious to know if some things can be done to make reactos accesible
for the blind.
best regards, Dick
Greetings fellow developers...
After a rather long hiatus (I actually came close to death),
I went back to the DbgCom source and merged some improvements that are now
in the RosIDE I'm working on. Most notably a Preferences settings dialog, but also
some improved performance in the message list painting, and various bug fixes.
The first time you run DbgCom, be sure to execute the Preferences dialog,
and Ok the settings, so they get stored in the registry.
I will make the source dependencies available shortly, they just need to be
cleaned up a bit, since there is currently some hackery in there that I
don't want to publish. I'll notify you on the ROSBE-100 page.
You'll find DbgCom here: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/ROSBE-100
Well, that's it I guess.
Best Regards
/ Love
Hello all.
My family is at home and I need to shut down the AHK bot until the end of the week.
See you later on Ros ;-) Kind regards, Sylvain Petreolle
Hi all,
As announced, I'll be travelling to California this Thursday to attend
the Google Summer of Code Mentor Summit from Friday to Sunday.
I'll be using this opportunity to spread the word about ReactOS, our
experiences with GSoC, and learning from other projects' experiences.
I'm especially interested to hear how others are acquiring talented
students and managing their list of task ideas over the year.
Let's hope this will help us to get more than 1 student next year and
efficiently collect a list of GSoC ideas continuously instead of
preparing it shortly before the deadline ;)
Is there anything else you want me to talk about during the summit?
Cheers,
Colin
I found that this function `InitializeProcThreadAttributeList()` is added
with GetProcAddress but not with the real function. I can provide the real
function from Windows 10.
The function hasn't any imported function, just conatins some arithmatic
operations.
I don't know how to contribute and not familiar with ReactOS repo. So, I
can only provide a c file.
