Description:
Vojtch Polek has announced an unofficial effort to create a Fedora-based distribution designed
for visually impaired users: My ultimate vision for this project is "NO
VOJTUX NEEDED!" because
I believe Fedora should eventually be fully accessible out of the
box. We aren't there yet, which is where Vojtux comes in to fill the
gap. [...] Key Features: -Speaks out of the box: When the live desktop is ready, Orca starts
automatically. After installation, it is configured so that it starts
on the login screen and also after logging in. -Batteries included: Comes
with LIOS , Ocrdesktop, Tesseract,
Audacity, and command-line tools like Git and Curl. There are also
many preconfigured keyboard shortcuts. See the repository for instructions on getting the image.
