Surely, the brltty route is the appropriate one once the install has =
been undertaken perhaps Festival might be appropriate to give speech =
support. I did hear that brltty boot up disks were available. You =
don't have to pay for the speakup disks they are there for anyone to =
download. But if you don't have a hard ware synth your wasting your =
time going down that route.

Hi Saqib,
I'm delighted of the fact that you and few other members of the list =
answered me practically at once.
Thank you for that!
Now questions:
You wrote:
1. Do you only use a Braille display, or do you use speech also? =
If so, which speech synthesiser do you have?
Marijan: At the moment I have only desktop machine (Celeron =
processor Pentium 3 633MHz overclocked to 750MHz, 128MB RAM, 20GB hdd( =
with sound Blaster live 1024 and the oldest Tieman's Braille display =
with 40+5 cells named Keybraille (the predecessor of Combibraille). But =
just now I am in the market for Toshiba satellite 2800-600 laptop, Alva =
Satellite 544 portable and JFW 4.0 or 4.1, depending on the time when =
I'll pay. At the moment I don't think about buying of hardware speech =
synthesizer.
You wrote:
2. How much computing knowledge do you have?
Marijan: It's so clear, I am not a programmer at all, I didn't =
learn JAWS scripting language yet but I use JFW and other applications I =
need very easily. In the nearest future I plan to learn more about HTML =
and how to make the web sites. Of course, it's very small piece of =
knowledge but until now I had no chance to learn more because in my =
country I was the first blind man who bought a computer and started to =
use it.=20
You wrote:
3. What sort of things do you want to use Linux for?
Marijan: As a radio journalist I have to use text-processor to =
write my articles (I prefer WordPerfect but I use Word also); OCR =
programme to recognize the printed materials I need (I just installed =
Fine reader 5.0 trial which recognize Cyrillic);and sound editor like =
Sound forge witch I like it very much.
I am sorry but I don't know what I should expect of Linux. I have =
heard that Linux is much more stable then Windows but I don't know if =
there are the applications I mentioned above.
Anyway, I'd like to try it and see what is better.
BTW, which version of Linux allows me to start a Windows apps from =
within the Linux?
Thank you very much for your effort to help me, indeed!
Sorry for my pegen English.
Sincerely,
Marijan
