Good to know. So I assume all programs should give users the possibility
to be operated completely from keyboard only, without ever needing mouse
interaction.

Now I understand why you complained about HTML5/JavaScript. Those sites
typically require extensive mouse/touch screen interaction.

What about when blind users aren't logged into an X session? Is espeakup
sufficient for text-mode installer, such as the one for GuixSD?

Could you please tell me how to set up my machine in order to simulate
the typical environment for a blind GNU/Linux user? Which programs would
I need to use aside from orca, and which programs would you suggest to a
blind user for daily usage (web browser, text editor, etc.)?
