@pixelate@tweesecake.social 1. A spare PC dedicated for this. 2. A robust audio system and accessibility support that won't be as flaky as described in some famous articles. 3. A screen reader that just works and allows to carry out various commands, with decent Braille support, ideally scriptable. Keyboard shortcuts reassignment is a must. 4. Detailed thorough instructions about installation, distro choice, desktop choice, updating process, settings, screen reader usage, designed for advanced users of another operating system, all of those able to be executed by a blind person alone. 5. Developer tools accessible by themselves *and* allowing to develop accessible apps. 6. Decent console processing by screen reader, and it must be the same one used for desktop. 7. Basic software, powerful and accessible: mailing client, browsers (not only Firefox), media players, cloud solutions, word processing with advanced capabilities (commenting, track changes, tables, multi-level lists, various list bullets etc., etc.), spreadsheets, presentation viewer. All of this accessible. 8. All of the above must not be, as one podcaster uses to say, written by aliens for predators. I.e., it must be at least fast learnable, configurable and usable by someone who has a very high raised bar of usability, accessibility, and customizability. 9. Decent choice of TTS voices, both "robotic" and more human-like, with multilingual support (it's a must!), especially for languages in different alphabets: cyrillic, Hebrew, Greek. 10. Punctuation customizability, emoji reading, math processing, various abilities to read Unicode characters. 11. (Not necessary, but ideally) a book reader with DAISY, EPUB, FB2 support. 12. Something I definitely forgot. #Accessibility #Linux
