Dear advanced users and developers,
Termux is one of The best programmers idea which have been thinked out. It is a real gate to The world of Linux operating system. Thanks to many preconfigured packages for Termux, it is possible to use more and more applications which are The part of other Linux distributions repositoryes. Someone elite of us has done his best to prepare fully functional Orca screen reader for Termux.
Here is The package issue
termux/termux-packages#16174
Orca can not work due to incomplete at-spi infrastructure setup. Relevant article is here.
https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility-devel
I think that The best what we could do is to make orca to work by using Lxde. Mate is The best accessible, but I do not know, if all modules are prepared corectly in The termux-x11 repository. So if caja can display The desktop, if there is special Mate panel which handles system tray icons, etc. Lxde is not so accessible like Mate, but ALT+F1 recall The apps menu. And this is accessible including logout screen and many LXDE integrated apps.
The question is. If someone would had to make many changes inside Orca and its dependencyes because Termux uses other path folder names. if this would not cause that Orca will never work.
Firefox, Chromium is professionally prepared for Termux. lxde, even Xfce, VLC and other apps. The question is, if The complex programmers work which would had to be invested to make Orca work will have a corresponding result. If interaction between Orca and running app will be really much more faster thanks to The fact, that Proot is not being used. Only Termux and Android bionic .so library and special .so library to allow shared memory in Termux.
Thank you very very much for your opinions and ideas.
