Getting started with screen readers
Prerequisites
You need:
- A working AT-SPI 2 service, which is the D-Bus service that assistive technologies use to talk to applications
- A screen reader, such as Orca
Qt includes the bridge to AT-SPI, so there's nothing extra to build.
Running applications
To turn on the screen reader for your whole session, see Starting the Orca screen reader.
To try a single application without that, set this variable and then start the application from the same terminal:
export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1
Reporting problems
Please report problems you find in the issue tracker of the application concerned.
