I much prefer the way SBL does screen review to how
espeakup does it, ...


For those people who do like to start from a shell, Fenrir has been available for a little while now. It's fairly new as compared to such screen readers as Speakup and SBL, and its most attractive feature is that it doesn't rely on staging drivers being compiled for the kernel. It does depend on some standard kernel features such as the vcsa system and evdev, but needs no extra modules or staging drivers. It does have screen review that is similar to Speakup however, although I do believe it is customizable. Regarding sbl, I do agree that it is a really nice text mode screen reader. But it does seem to be limited to a very small number of distributions, which makes me think that it may depend on something they compiled into their kernels as well, but I'm not entirely sure about this. It would be nice if someone could get sbl working on other distributions, especially on Raspberry Pi and similar non-Intel, non-AMD hardware architectures.
