would like to know if there are any screen readers that:

i know a little about windows programs like jaws that
require a card similiar to dectalk.


This is not a mailing list for the discussion of Windows, as its focus is Linux, but JAWS and most other Windows screen readers can and do speak through a standard soundcard.

i know jaws is for windows. am not going to build the thing for windows. am going to build it for linux.


Not sure what you mean by point 3 above. Certainly a decent screen reader should speak most screen contents intuitively,

i do realize that point.

but if anyone thinks they can design a screen reader that does not require any special commands for screen review then they are (1) kidding themselves and (2) not familiar with the way blind people use screen readers. The ability to examine the screen and have information selectively spoken at will is integral to the whole screen reader experience.

thank you for informing me of that point as well.


Geoff.

question remains, which packages to get and compile. do they all use the sound card, or do they require something similar to a decktalk?
