Accessible Ubuntu LiveCD announced

Submitted by calum on Tue, 2005-03-15 06:49. Gnome Accessibility

Luke Yelavich has released an accessibility-focused version of the Ubuntu LiveCD:

I am happy to announce the second testing/proof of concept release of an
accessible derivative of the Hoary Live CD, based on the recently
released Ubuntu preview. This CD aims to give blind/vision impaired
linux users a chance to use the Gnopernicus screen reader, and explore the
many features and applications of the GNOME and Ubuntu desktop.

Upon booting this CD, the Gnopernicus screen reader loads straight away,
and begins speaking as you move around the desktop and GNOME panels. You
can read through menus, edit text, surf the internet, and manage your
files with constant spoken feedback to let you know where you are at all
times.

Read Luke's announcement and brief release notes here, or download the CD now.
