Be sure you have sound in the login screen. If you heard the drums than it' OK. On some hardware I noticed the sound was muted or too low. Maybe you can try Alt_Super_S or activate the screen reader in the Ubuntu menu in the top right corner of the screen. If I remember right press Alt_F10 then richt arrow once and up arrow once, then press Enter.

Firefox on my system stopped working with orca after the last update (no setting changed) and my wife tells me that it is working properly as far as sighted people are concerned. All other applications that I run from the desktop appear to be working correctly with orca (not that I run many). I have found a couple of people on the orca list who are not having an issue with firefox, 16.04 and orca. Any help will be much appreciated.

The project will benefit the approximately 20.6 million Americans with significant vision loss who cannot use digital libraries effectively because of the libraries' sight-centered design. The goal: to make digital libraries more universally accessible. The researchers are looking to identify a few more screen reader users who are available to participate in the "diary" phase of the study for February 2018. Those interested in participating will complete a prescreening form to determine their eligibility for the study. The diary group will complete a pre-questionnaire via Qualtrics, an orientation task and 2 search tasks for two Digital Libraries (DL). Participants will have two (2) weeks to complete the tasks and record as many problems encountered in each DL in diary format (Word documents). Following the use of each DL, the diary participants will complete a post-questionnaire via Qualtrics. Follow-up interviews will be incorporated to provide clarification on diary or post-questionnaire responses. The whole process takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes, but writing times may vary. Please note: as a diary study, this is a fairly writing-intensive study. Each participant will be offered $100 electronic Amazon gift card for their participation in the study. Please contact Melissa directly at castil44 at uwm.edu , if you are interested. If you know anyone who might be interested in participating, please forward this email on to them.
