## Screen readers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Niri has basic support for screen readers (specifically, [Orca](https://orca.gnome.org)).
|
||
|
|
We implement the `org.freedesktop.a11y.KeyboardMonitor` D-Bus interface for Orca to listen and grab keyboard keys, and we expose the main niri UI elements via [AccessKit](https://accesskit.dev).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure [Xwayland](./Xwayland.md) works, then run `orca`.
|
||
|
|
The default config binds <kbd>Super</kbd><kbd>Alt</kbd><kbd>S</kbd> to toggle Orca, which is the standard key binding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're shipping niri and would like to make it work better for screen readers out of the box, consider the following changes to the default niri config:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Change the default terminal from Alacritty to one that supports screen readers. For example, [GNOME Console](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/console) or [GNOME Terminal](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal) should work well.
|
||
|
|
- Change the default application launcher and screen locker to ones that support screen readers. Suggestions welcome! Likely, something GTK-based will work fine.
|
||
|
|
- Add some `spawn-at-startup` command that plays a sound which will indicate to users that niri has finished loading.
|
||
|
|
- Add `spawn-at-startup "orca"` to run Orca automatically at niri startup.
|

## Desktop zoom
|

|
There's no built-in zoom yet, but you can use third-party utilities like [wooz](https://github.com/negrel/wooz).
