Remora is an application that runs in parallel with the Orca screen reader on Linux and extends Orca's functionality. It provides the ability to:
- Summarize text and visual content with private offline ollama vision models
- OCR the screen
- Provide hotkeys for helpful actions not in Orca by default (for example, a screen curtain)
A video demonstrating how to use Remora can be found here
- Download the latest release from Github or build from source
- To install Remora as a desktop application, you can run
make installin the makefile.
- You must use a recent version of Orca (at least v49.0 beta or above)
- This app only works on X11; Wayland does not support global hotkeys or coordinates and thus is impossible to support across compositors
- To use hotkeys you cannot have numlock or another modifier key enabled
- Currently supports only amd64
- You must tab into the GUI window to read its contents with Orca due to a bug in webkit gtk
You must have wails installed to build this program. Then follow the commands in the makefile
