Re: TDSR?

Tdsr is in fact much like YASR in functionality from what I can tell, with the exception that it appears there is no way to change what voice it uses without editing your speech-dispatcher configuration. I didn't find any mention of an exception dictionary either, which was included in YASR as I recall, though it has been a very long time since I used that. That said, I see no advantage to using it if you already have Speakup running. I also don't see any advantage to running Speakup and Fenrir at the same time, and the primary advantage of Fenrir over Speakup, aside from spell check and other useful features, is simply that a kernel update won't even temporarily break your screen reader as I have seen happen, though such breakage does occur rather infrequently. That said, running entirely independent of the kernel does offer better portability, and also means that the screen reader can be updated independently of the kernel, which IMO is always a good thing(tm).
