mode because the application window obscures the On-Screen Keyboard display.
To resize the window for use with the On-Screen Keyboard application, perform the
following steps:
1 Do not enable the Full-Screen mode in the application.
2 Give focus to the application window.
3 Press F10 to maximize the application.
4.3 Orca
Visual limitations range from low vision to blindness. Users with visual disabilities
encounter problems when seeing text or images on a computer screen and when per-
forming tasks that require eye-hand coordination, such as moving a computer mouse.
Text size and color can make a big difference in legibility for people with low vision.
Orca is a flexible, extensible, and powerful assistive technology for people with visual
impairments. Using various combinations of speech synthesis, braille and magnification,
the Orca Screen Reader and Orca Magnifier application enable users with limited or
no vision to use the GNOME desktop and associated applications. The screen reader
also supports Braille.
4.3.1 Running Orca

Orca
