Quidam says on his blog that Trisquel has really good out-of-the-box accessibility features. I feel like we should have more info about accessibility in the documentation.
Right now, we have just two third party links on accessibility. I don't know whether that's enough to convey Quidam's message to prospective users. If it is, please ignore this post and forgive my ignorance.
I've seen community members post about Orca Screen Reader. I noticed that we can make the system fonts larger. Are there other things?

orca is not good enough in trisquel
Some basic programs unread by orca
I think that should be replaced this programs
As I understand it it is the programs Orca doesn't read which need
accessiblity adding. Lack of accessibility is a bug. If a guilty
program is on the Trisquel install CD then a Trisquel bug should be
filed against the program's package name. If the program is not on
the CD then the bug should be filed upstream (Ubuntu or Debian).
I am a member!
Bugs have been filed against Gwibber, Evolution and Empathy, for their lack of accessibility with Orca, as should be done. I have opened tickets, in Orca's bug tracker regarding accessibility problems with gedit and per-application screen reader preferences. Since these issues seem to be unique to Trisquel 7.0, the Orca community gives them low priority. Regarding accessibility documentation for Trisquel, I wrote something in the wiki, which I can revisit.
I'm going on the assumption that people who want accessibility features might check the documentation to see what Trisquel offers. If our accessibility documentation looks thin, they may go somewhere else.
I'll try and learn about accessibility features so that maybe I can contribute something too. I made this topic so that maybe people with more experience can start us off.
