ReactOS and accessibility

[Sebastian Dellit]

Hello ReactOS readers,
thank for the new OS. :-)
I'm Sebastian from Germany and 26 years old. I'm blind and using a
braille display and speech.
Is there a planed feature to make ReactOS accessible for blind
peoples? ReactOS is compatible with Windows NT software and drivers? I
want test ReactOS with NVDA - a open source Screenreader for Windows.
A accessible installer (e. g. the Debian installer with brltty) will
be fantastic.
I want test the Live CD with NVDA ...

Best regards Sebastian

The idea is that win32 software and NT drivers are compatible with ReactOS
yes, so existing accessibility tools for windows should work in ReactOS
given time.
Please bear in mind though that ReactOS is definitely a work in progress,
and as such there is currently no guarantee that ReactOS will run on real
hardware, or that it will support your applications, in many cases an
application can crash ReactOS. This is the nature of a software project in
the alpha stages.
Do not use ReactOS for anything important.
Having said that, feel free to test NVDA or any other application, and
report how it works, as it will be usefull feedback for the ReactOS team,
although in doing so please do it in an emulator as our real hardware
support is iffy at the moment.

I have burn the daily build of the live CD. The ReactOS runs. But
support ReactOS the Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1?
Can I start a browser/explorer with Winkey+e? I have on my windows
machine a little screenreader:
C:\Programme\NVDA\nvda.exe
Who can I run this programm easily? Is there a way?
Thanks and

Hello Sebastian,
there is no sound support yet, but the developers working hard to develope
the sound support. The secont thing is that no accessibillity API exists
yet. The project is in the alpha stadium. I hope tha I could help you. If
you have more questions, you can write me an PM and I can write you in
German.
Best Regards
Ali
