I'm not sure about Ubuntu, but anything using speech-dispatcher should work fine no matter the terminal, or at least that is what happens here using fedora-MATE-Compiz. That said, I rarely use any full text-only console not running a graphical desktop, preferring instead to run my terminal screen reader in a silent graphical terminal. Both Fenrir and TDSR are capable of running in such an environment, so it isn't even necessary to stop Orca's speech in order to have a full text-mode screen reader running inside of xterm or similar. Your mileage of course may vary, but this works for me. ~Kyle To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to blinux-list+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxx.
