Hello, I have found a source package for SBL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/jump/15.2/repo/oss/src/sbl-3.5.0.20130317.git7a75bc29-2.46.src.rpm I will try to build it and add it to the Slint main repository Cheers, Didier Didier Spaier Slint maintainer https://slint.fr Le 30/09/2020 à 20:54, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : > I'm personally a fan of SBL, particularly for it's > hold down caps lock and use arrow keys to navigate the screen like a > text document" style of screen review and it generally only reading > the output from verbose commands that I tell it too instead of trying > to read absolutely everything like espeakup does... though admittedly, > I prefer espeakup's more verbose style when playing classic infocom > text adventures in Fizmo or Frotz since I don't have to manually > review the output of every action.
