Sheesh. Janina. I hadn't suggested that anyone join me in the endever. I don't really like YASR, and that's one reason I use speakup as well. I believe I was attempting to explain to Luke that it would be possible to make a screen reader as a system service, and in the user space. I didn't see your name in my previous post asking for you to join me. Ok?
