Update to the ODF reader


23 Jul 2006

Yesterday I wrote about an accessible ODF reader for Linux. Since then I got feedback from the Ubuntu accessibility team and wrote a much improved reader:

The new reader uses elinks instead of lynx. You can now open ODF files from within the reader (press 'g' and point to the document). New files are added as new tabs, so it's quite usable. It also handles file names with spaces correctly.

Download the reader (8.0KB!)

Note: Most distros don't come with elinks by default. On Ubuntu, type
sudo apt-get install elinks
