| [actf-dev] Thanks so much! |
I hope this is the right place to extend my gratitude to those who have made the Eclipse IDE more accessible to the blind. I am a blind student taking my first programming class in college. The class teaches Java. I use JAWS screen reading software for windows. The professor recommended NetBeans, but JAWS didn’t work with it. Then I downloaded Eclipse Kepler and it was usable. I turned of automatic content assist per the instructions. However, when I pressed Control + Space to activate content assist, the screen reader would not stop speaking “one hundred percent” over and over. So I had to get by without content assist. Recently I downloaded Luna and that problem seems to have been fixed! I really appreciate the efforts of those willing to help us out in this regard. Also, Eclipse now works with Window’s high-contrast black screen setting. Yes! Is there a way to donate money directly to the accessibility project? (I’m a student though; don’t expect much.) Thanks again. Keep it up! |
