HellO!
If you install grml which i think i will.
Can you run brltty or yascr on that distro?

You need to make a distinction between installing grml and running it from the live CD. Once you install grml, then you can install any other linux package. That would include yascr or brltty. But the grml live CD comes with speakup so I doubt it comes with yascr as well. Googling for "grml yascr" gave nothing of interest.

I don't really know anything about brltty either. Googling for "brltty grml" gave me this page:
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=accessibility#brltty

Looks like grml supports brltty .

Minor correction to my earlier post. I said I thought the majority of blind computer professionals use speakup. I meant the majority use speakup for their screen reader for linux as opposed to yascr or emacspeak. Obviously, jaws is probably much more widely used than any screen reader for linux. And brltty may be more commonly used than speakup.
