There is a comand called say which you can pip through and it will immediately echo waht comes to the screen but further than that, we'll have to wait and see what happens with lepard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin McCormick" <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Linux for blind general discussion" <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 11:49 AM Subject: When Occasionally Visiting a Mac When I access Linux, I have been using an old P.C. with DOS, a screen reader and kermit which even today works nicely and gets me on to Debian as well as any other form of unix including Sunos and FreeBSD. On rare occasions, I need to visit Mac's and use the Voiceover system. It seems to do well enough at reading a screen and speaking links, for instance, but if I telnet or ssh in to a unix system, I appear to have to manually review the screen to hear prompts or messages that pop up. Since I don't own a Mac or use one on a daily basis, this may be a dumb question, but is there a setting in Voiceover that will echo new data as they come in? That was the thing I immediately missed the first time I tried a Macintosh with Voiceover. Many thanks.
