Any thought about / hope in #odilia (an alternative to orca written in Rust)?

Welcome to Odilia! Odilia is a new screen reader for the Linux desktop. It’s written in Rust, for maximum performance and stability. On top of what screen reading features we already have on Linux, we intend to add roughly the following: Addons You’re no longer limited to built-in functionality! Install addons from third-party developers to extend Odilia with new commands and abilities. Or, if you’re a developer, write your own in one of several languages.

@HaraldKi @minkorrekt Die esse ich am liebsten, allerdings die normale und nicht die Dark.

Aber wenn es mal eine Creme ohne Zuckerzusatz und ohne Palm- oder Kokosfett drin soll, empfehle ich die Aufstriche von #Odilia

I've been lurking on the
#Odilia Dev Discord server and just watching people chat. It looks like we are about six months away from an addition of Odilia which is stable enough for end users. For right now, the Odilia team is calling for more devs and testers to run this thing and provide feedback. There is no current binary, but If you are a dev orr are a Linux user who is in a position to run a screen reader which is tester ready but not end user ready, I'm sure Odilia would welcome your feedbac. And so would the Mastodon community of screen reader users who do not have the setups or the knowledge to run or test this screen reader.

This page describes the current capabilities of Odilia:

And here's a link to Odilia's community page, including Discord server info.

Odilia can be run by installing the package available for Arch Linux. Or you can git clone their repository and compile your own binary from source. Here's the installation documentation:

@storm awesome! glad you have it working! if you want, join #odilia:libera.chat on irc or the #odilia:stealthy.club space on matrix, and tell us how it's going for you!
I know we don't have a lot of features, most things actually, but this seemned stable enough that we can release it without going into cronic disappointment for a rushed release mode.

@cambridgeport90 what about arch? how does that compare to that? I'm using arch to develop odilia btw, I made sure it had nothing arch specific, but compilation may fail on older versions of ubuntu with speech-dispatcher<0.10 anyway. So yeah, if you decide to run it, send me a dm or something to see how it goes. Also, if you want to test it more and share results with all of the devs, consider joining #odilia-screen-reader:matrix.org, where everything development happens.
