Re: [orca-list] Speech-dispatcher library for C#?

Hello,
as for the project, I have few very interesting ideas of combining ocr
with my own image analysis algorithms, which could result in more or
less new ways of using characters recognition for us.
The problem is, that I don't know yet, whether they'll really work, as
theory is one thing, and practice another. :)
I don't even know yet, whether the whole stuff will be researched and
developed as one project or as more smaller parts, the former would be
more practical, the latter more realistical, as individual parts have
varying development times and it would be unpractical to wait with one
taking few days to develop for another, which needs a month to find the
best possible way and create supporting framework. Especially taking in
my inability to keep working on things for longer time. :)

Thus a team effort doesn't seem very possible now, but may be an actual
thing later, if my ideas will prove themselves and I will want to
integrate them tighter with Orca, a help will definitely be appreciated
to code it faster.

Btw, I had been checking OCRdesktop some time ago. It seems very
interesting, but from what I've found, its primarily designed for
Archlinux and its forks. Is there a confortable way to run it on Ubuntu
mate?

Best regards

Howdy,



Plus I have projects with much wider target groups, like a program
to
ocr user's screen. It can be used by any blind person, and is only
related to blind people using Linux.

Sounds like something i did some days ago named "OCRdesktop".
if you want, we can join the efforts to not reinvent the wheel.

It would need a solid, heavily-linuxified community. :)

well you can meet some of the community on irc:
irc.linux-a11y.org

cheers chrys

Hello,
I meaned some mailing lists about blind people and Linux, that's
probably a better formulation. Something like Eyes-free mailing
list
for Android. People were sharing there basically everithing related
to
our community, from screenreader updates, through recommendations
to
mailing apps to experiences with phones, tablets, etc.
If one released an app and wanted it to be noticed by as many blind
people as possible, Eyes-free was the best place. If one wanted
experiences of others with NVIDIA shell TV Box and its
accessibility,
Eyes-free was the best place. And if one simply wanted to ask for a
program to do something, for example ocr a document, Eyes-free was
again very helpful.

Searching a related community is a good point for some of my
projects,
for example my Ride code editor for Linux probably won't get high
attention on places with small concentration of developers.
But with most of them it's bit more complicated. Chinfusor for
example
is designed to be used by people who speak more languages, but
whether
those people, especially if they're not technical, would be present
in
speech-dispatcher mailing list... I don't know.
A program for reading MathML is my other project. Its target
audience
are blind high-school students, university students, scientists
from
many areas such as mathematics, physics, artificial intelligence,
informatics and many more.
if there was a mailing-list like eyes-free, all of those people
would
likely to be present there, as all of them are blind and use Linux,
so
they want to have an image, what's happening in the Linux
accessibility
for blind world.

Plus I have projects with much wider target groups, like a program
to
ocr user's screen. It can be used by any blind person, and is only
related to blind people using Linux.

It would need a solid, heavily-linuxified community. :)

+0200, a
ecrit:

this question is probably quite off-topic here

The problem is not really being off-topic (it's relatively close
to
orca-list), but that you will miss reaching the set of people who
would
most probably have a proper answer.


Btw, is there a mailing list related to Linux accessibility in
general?

I don't think there is, because that would be too vague:
accessibility
for non-sighted? Accessibility for muscular impairement?
Concerning
the
web? The desktop? Text reading? Screen magnification? Debian?
RedHat?
...


One example is my Chinfusor project, the speech-dispatcher
engine
for
reading multi-alphabetical texts,

That would probably be useful to discuss on the speechd list.


What would be the correct place to inform about these things?

For new projects, I would say send a note on mailing lists of
projects
that resemble most to yours, since the people following it may
want
to
follow yours for similar reasons. Also, Linux distribution
mailing
lists
could be useful so that the software gets packaged.
