Vinux experience operating system for the blind

With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more people use computers to obtain information, but some people can't get information through the Internet. They are blind and visually impaired. There are no operating systems for blind people, including Windows and Mac OS, and the flexible Linux operating system is different. It can customize a targeted operating system for this group of people.

Vinux has made a number of optimizations for groups of people with visual impairments. It offers three screen readers, two full-screen amplifiers, and a global font size. Color change tools and support for USB Braille point display devices. Vinux makes it easy to manipulate graphical GNOME desktops. For those who only need to implement a simple text console mode, Vinux offers YASR, a reader for compatible screens. It can run in console mode as well as GNOME virtual terminals.

Vinux installation steps using intelligent manual voice prompts

Vinux is a Ubuntu-based distribution, so Ubuntu's shadow can be seen in many aspects of the system, from installation to specific applications.

There will be sound prompts during the installation process, which can help the blind people to pass “Listen” to install the system, and there are related voice prompts after entering the interface.

Operating Systems with Ear Control

Unlike our usual operating systems, people with visual impairments cannot view the screen with their eyes to make choices. But their ears are normal, so Vinux reads every application and operation in the system in the language possible.

Vinux's office suite and color control features

Vinux offers a tool "AutoKey(GTK)" is highly recommended. When you are typing text content, you may often encounter situations where you need to enter the same content, such as an address, phone number, and so on. It would be too time-consuming and laborious to re-enter each time, especially for people with visual impairments.

In the “Graphics Tools>Gcolor2” gadget tool. & ldquo;Gcolor2” color picker can freely extract the color value on the computer screen, for those who are often engaged in front-end design and development, it is very necessary and necessary.

Summary: Through the experience of Vinux, I feel that this is a Linux operating system that is very suitable for people with visual impairment. And, for the Linux operating system such as Vinux, which is specifically for the visually impaired, we should actively encourage it. Give this special love to someone special. At the same time, we also hope to further introduce other operating systems for people with disabilities, as well as launch more targeted applications, so that they can also learn about the world through computers and the Internet, and learn better.
