Run it and you go into the emacspeak environment and remain in the
emacspeak environment until you shut emacspeak down. I think a version
of emacspeak has been built that will run on mac's and use the mac's
resources to speak.

emacspeak provides its own environment not a text console. You can run a
text console from emacspeak when necessary and doing so puts all of the
power tools in your hands Linux has to offer so it's an advantage to learn
especially if you're going for a real Linux sysadmin job or doing any
other real Linux work since most of the young sighted competitors you have
will focus primarily on the graphical user interface. This trend with the
younger Linux workers gets older managers frustrated when younger workers
either can't do something at all or take too long to do it because they're
using the mouse and the graphical user interface when some of the older
managers can do tasks with the text console and keyboard in half the time
or less.On Mon, 28 Jan 2013, mattias wrote:

Subject: Orca or EmacSpeak
Hello,
I am new to Linux and am having some trouble getting to learn the OS due
to
the Orca screen reader. I will start off by letting you know I am on a
Mac
book running Mountain Lion. I am running ubuntu 1204 in VMware fusion.
To
this point I am only able to preform commands which do not require the
Orca
modifier key. I read that the Orca modifier key is the "insert" key, but
Mac
does not have an "insert" key. I have read several different posts of
people
describing a few key commands which simulate the insert key but none
have
worked for me. I also was told I can set my Orca configuration to
"laptop"
and then the "caps lock" key will act as the modifier, and yet again I
am
unable to do this.
Now to the question at hand. Does anyone have some experience with this
issue who can help me get it working? If not can someone please let me
know
if EmacSpeak is a better option for linux? I have read lots of good
things
about emacSpeak but honestly have no idea how to switch from Orca to
emacSpeak. I am not bias to either screen reader I am just looking to
learn
linux well enough to write some programs, use the terminal, and call it
a
familiar OS. I would greatly appreciate any help.
