Lo scopo di Ubuntu è quello di creare un sistema operativo, e tutte le sue derivate, usabile dal maggior numero possibile di persone di qualsiasi età, lingua e capacità fisiche. Per adempire a questo scopo Ubuntu include, nel già vasto ventaglio delle applicazioni, delle tecnologie assistive completamente gratuite e di alta qualità.

Problemi visivi

Completamente integrato nell'ambiente grafico [../Gnome:GNOME], Orca è l'applicazione adatta ai non vedenti e ipovedenti grazie alle sue funzioni di lettura del monitor e ingrandimento dello stesso.

Lettore del monitor e ingranditore

Con le varie combinazioni di sintesi vocale, braille e ingrandimento, Orcaaiuta a fornire accesso alle applicazioni e strumenti che supportano l'AT-SPI (ad esempio, il desktop [../Gnome:GNOME]). Lo sviluppo diOrcaè stato guidato dal Accessibility Program Office di Sun Microsystems con il contributo di molti membri della comunità.

Avviare Orca su Ubuntu

Premere la contemporaneamente Alt + F2 e digitare orca, successivamente fare clic su Esegui.

Starting Orca on the Live CD

  1. Once you've downloaded and burned the live CD image, insert it into your CD/DVD drive and reboot your computer. You should find that your drive spins for a short while and then stops. The point at which it stops coincides with the appearance of the boot options screen. At this point, you have about 30 seconds to perform the next step. If you do not perform the next step quickly, Ubuntu will automatically continue booting.
  2. In order to enable accessibility options, press F5. This will cause a list of accessibility options to appear:
    • None (has focus)
    • High Contrast
    • Magnifier
    • Screen Reader
    • Keyboard Modifiers
    • On Screen Keyboard
  3. If you want to try Orca, you should press 3 to give focus to Screen Reader, followed by Enter to indicate your selection. You will be returned to the boot options screen then press Enter again to indicate you would like to boot.

  4. Within a few minutes, Ubuntu will be loaded with Orca running and you will hear a greeting such as "Welcome to Orca. Orca Preferences. Tab list. General page."

  5. The CD drive should also stop spinning at this point. If the CD drive stopped spinning and you did not hear a greeting from Orca, you might need to try to reboot from the CD and repeat the steps for selecting the Screen Reader.

  6. Now, the graphical desktop is up and running, Orca is active, and the Orca Preferences dialog has focus. The Orca Preferences dialog is a multi-page dialog with several pages that allows you to configure your settings.

High Contrast

Ubuntu ships with a selection of high contrast themes, complete with custom icons and mouse cursors.

To activate a new theme, press System -> Preferences -> Appearance.

Mobility Impairments

Keyboard Modifiers

The Gnome desktop environment supports several options for modifying the behavior of the mouse and keyboard. The modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl and Alt) can be made Sticky so that when they are pressed once they remain active until the next key is pressed, making it possible to write upper case character or use keyboard shortcuts while only pressing one key at a time.

Other features include Slow Keys and Bounce Keys which control the reaction rate and repeat rate of keys and Mouse Keys which allow the numeric keypad to be used to control the mouse cursor. These features can be activated on the Keyboard Accessibility panel (from System -> Preferences -> Keyboard).

On-screen Keyboard

Ubuntu includes the onBoard on-screen keyboard, a lightweight text-entry application, extensible through macros, scripts and custom layouts.

Also available is Gnome On-screen Keyboard (GOK) which, in addition to basic text entry, also provides facilities for controlling the entire desktop behavior through the on-screen keyboard by gathering information about other applications and sending them control signals through the Gnome assistive technology framework AT-SPI.

MouseTrap

MouseTrap permits people with movements impairments to access the computer.

Mousetweaks

For users that cannot click with a hardware button, there is an utility named Mousetweaks that enables them to perform the various clicks by software.

Mousetweaks offers the following new features to the user:

  • Systemwide software click, usually called dwelling
  • Systemwide simulated right click through a click and hold of the left button (of course, for left-handed mouse users, the terms left and right have to be inverted)
  • Area on the panel to temporarily lock the pointer (provided by a panel applet) It uses image processing to translate the user's head movements into mouse events (movements, clicks) which allow users to interact with the different desktops managers and applications.

Dasher

Dasher provides an intuitive way to enter text without using the computer keyboard. It uses the head-mouse or eyetracker.

Voice Recognition

It is possible to control applications using voice commands. Julius speech recognition engine can be used to recognize voice commands and execute pre-set commands. Here is simple tutorial to get you started.

At recent UDS 2009 a proposal for Voice Driven User Interfaces was discussed.

Activating preinstalled tools

If you install the Ubuntu system after booting the Ubuntu Desktop CD with an accessibility option as described above, those features will also be preconfigured to start by default on your newly installed system.

The most common accessibility tools such as Orca and onBoard are preinstalled on any standard Ubuntu system and are easy to activate. The screen reader, magnifier and on-screen keyboard are all activated using the Gnome Assistive Technology Preferences panel, Found in the System Menu under Preferences.

Using Onboard and Mousetweaks at GDM

For users of Ubuntu 7.10 and above, it is possible to configure GDM so that onboard and mousetweaks are available during the GDM session.

This HowTo contains detailed explanations about how to configure GDM to make onboard and mousetweaks available and how to start them during the GDM session.
