Cloud4all Testing: Essential Registry Terms
This page contains a list of Registry terms that the Matchmaker team considers essential for its test scenario in the first evaluation phase. These terms are mapped to settings for Windows, NVDA on Windows, the Windows Magnifier, Linux GNOME, Orca and the Linux GNOME Shell Magnifier.
Documents for the Cloud4all Second Pilot Phase are available elsewhere.
Contents
Essential Registry Terms
This list is the result of an action item assigned during the Matchmaker teleconference of Friday 14 December 2012 and is open to discussion with the Architecture team, the SP3 partners of Windows and Linux and the organisers of the first evaluation phase.
Notes
- NVDA is not a Cloud4all implementation but testing with blind users on Windows 7 using Narrator (instead of a full screen reader) would have a negative impact on the user's satisfaction with settings on Windows. For the second phase, Narrator on Windows 8 may be an option (see also RNIB's comments).
- Orca settings can be found in ~/.local/share/orca/user-settings.conf (e.g. on Ubuntu 12.04, Fedora 17 and Fedora 18). (See for example Screen Reader Settings: Orca Settings.)
- Settings for the Gnome desktop and for the Gnome Magnifier are handled by gsettings. (See for example Screen Magnifier Settings: Linux built in.)
- In a terminal, type "gsettings list-schemas | grep desktop | sort" to list the schemas relevant to desktop settings.
- To get the list of keys for a specific schema, type e.g. "gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.background".
- To get the value for a specific key, type e.g. "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.a11y.magnifier lens-mode" (general syntax: "gsettings get [SCHEMA] [KEY]").
- Some settings for the Gnome desktop are not available through System Settings. The GnomeTweakTool enables users to define font faces and font sizes, but not font weight. The Dconf Editor is more powerful but not user friendly.
- How to install the GnomeTweakTool and Dconf Editor.
The terms in the table below were either already available in the Temporary Registry or were added on 15 December 2012 (a change log is available on request).
The last two columns explain the usage of the metrics previously discussed in Matchmaker Benchmarking Metrics. (ld
in the metric column stands for the binary logarithm or logarithm to base 2.)

Note: like the previous formula, this assumes eSpeak. Alternative formula from Claudia: (nvdaRate / 100) * (maxRate - minRate) + minRate = wpm, with maxrate = 390 and minrate = 80. (simplified: (nvdaRate / 100) * 310 + 80 = wpm). This gives a closer match than the previous formula. Note: like the previous formula, this assumes eSpeak. |

Automatic Say All on page load (code) is not the same thing as "reading unit"! (Not available in NVDA Portable 2011.2, i.e. neither in nvda.ini nor in the preferences dialogs. This settings should not be confused with "Text reading unit" in NVDA's Mouse settings, which sets the reading unit in hover (with different behaviour in Firefox and IE).) |
