Hi Exactly, that's the point I was making. You may need to get a sound card working so that SpeakFreely will work but we do use text chat too on the reflector, thus you'd be able to participate. I have brltty installed and when my sound card decided to give up, well it was my newly compiled kernel, I could still use my Braille display.

However, i am deaf and don't understand speech, so I'm sticking with Braille. I like Braille better anyway.
