=== Starting Orca Screenreader ===

When orca is properly installed Plasma offers two ways to start it.

==== Shortcut ====

Plasma offers by default a shortcut to start the screenreader.
After you logged in, press  <keycap>Meta+Alt+S</keycap> to turn the screenreader on or off.

==== Autostart ====

To autostart orca after login:
# Go to [[Special:myLanguage/System_Settings|System Settings]]
# Go to Section "Accessibility"
# Go to Tab "Screenreader"
# Check "Screenreader enabled" checkbox

=== Activating Visual Aids ===

Plasma desktop effects contain several accessibility-oriented features, including full-screen zoom, color inversion and assistance locating the mouse pointer.

Settings for these features can be found under Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects -> Accessibility.

==== Full-Screen Magnification ====
<keycap>Meta++</keycap> and <keycap>Meta+-</keycap> zooms in and out, respectively.
