Ease of Access Center?

ionpetrache · June 28, 2009, 10:50am

Hello!

I’d like to know if there is an Ease of Access Center (like in Windows) on OpenSuse. Or if it isn’t … if there is some free software to install on OpenSuse.

I’d like to know if I can find a Narrator, Magnifier, On screen keyboard and how to set up high contrast.

Thanks,
Ionut

Which desktop environment are you using? For KDE, have a look here:

KDE Wiki : KDE for Partially Sighted Users

You’re correct though, it could be made a lot easier.

KDE4 has a desktop screen magnifier. It can be started via menu (utilites > desktop > screen magnifier) or kmag from command prompt.

There is kvkbd virtual keyboard app. I located a package for it via webpin search. (Please note I searched for openSUSE 11.0 package).

Thanks a lot for the informations!

What about a narrator program?

I’m using KDE.

For KDE4, there is a text-to-speech app called KTTS. Install the kde4-kttsd package.
