most of us can't afford software dectalk. $50 is a lot, and in canada it's doubled since it's probably in american dollars. the linux demo doesn't work, so i don't have any good way to try it. the windows demo is... so-so, but very limiting. i hate having to load windows. i only use it for games, and maybe the occasional test of a new screen reader that i find - which is not very good. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jacobs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 12:22 PM Subject: plan for software dectalk? > Hi speakup developers: > Just wondering if there are plans for speakup to support the linux version > of software dectalk, or whether it's even possible.
