Hi Genena, I know that Debian is also supported with Speakup but I tried writing the guy who was responsible for including Speakup in Debian but have no addie for him by email. I am wondering how I can help in getting the process of Speakiup going in the next release of Debian as well? I would be happy to advocate for this and any other distros that could use Speakup which probably would be a few more. Thanks for your help.
