I think that your thought that Elba was purchased by Optelec is incorrect. Elba is owned by Papenmeier. Development seems to have slowed down, and I believe they introduced a new model at CSUN, but can't really remember.

How neat it'd be to have a talking portable linux box, that I think still had a serial port on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ari" <aridamoulakis@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Linux for blind general discussion" <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 1:11 PM Subject: Re: have anyone tested this screen reader > Hi Kristoffer, > This screenreader was looked at as an option by my sighted friend who is > helping me set up linux.
