bug#19792: Emacs and Voiceover

Hi,

What I'd like to report is not exactly a bug (or maybe it is) and I'm not really sure if you could fix it or if I should be writing to someone else.

I have a blind student who would benefit a lot from using Emacs but, unfortunately, it doesn't work for him because he's on a Mac and Voiceover can't read information correctly from the Emacs window (I have installed the "Emacs for Mac OS X" that can be downloaded from here). A blind friend who runs Emacs on Linux has told me that Orca has the same problem and that emacspeak is the only solution that worked for him.

The method of installation of emacspeak on a Mac is pretty obscure. I have been able to find a few old pages with dozens of steps and none of them guarantee that it will work. And, besides, I don't have the necessary skills to try that approach either.

I wonder if the problem with Voiceover could be solved from the Emacs side (because, expecting Apple to to anything is of course ridiculous), which may also solve the problem with Orca.

If there's anything on your power to solve this, I'm sure a lot of people would be very grateful, including me and my student. If not, could you please point me out to whom I could write for help?

Sincerely,

Antonio Gervasoni
