The command "orca-c" refers to the command-line tool "orca-c" which is part of the Orca screen reader software. Orca is an assistive technology tool used for visually impaired or blind individuals to access and interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on Linux operating systems.
The "orca-c" command is used to start Orca in command-line mode. When executed, it launches the Orca screen reader in a terminal window. This allows users to navigate and interact with applications and the desktop environment using text-based feedback instead of relying on visual cues.
The Orca screen reader provides spoken feedback for various elements on the screen, such as menu items, buttons, text fields, and other GUI components. Users can navigate through these elements using keyboard shortcuts and receive audio feedback or Braille output.
By running "orca-c" on the command line, visually impaired users can access and interact with their Linux system and applications with the assistance of the Orca screen reader.
