[laptop-accessibility] OLPC accessibility for Visually Impaired users

[tim.pennick at bt.com]

Hi All,

I have an OLPC machine on loan.  I'm blind, and am wondering about the
current state of play regarding facilities such as screen readers which
would allow me to access this machine.  Can anyone tell me if there are
features currently built into the OLPC machines which will give me
screen reader functionality, and if so how to access them.
Alternatively, is it possible to load an application such as Orca onto
the oLPC machine and is there documentation about how this works?

Regards,

Tim Pennick
