Hi, yasr is another shell based screen reader. It is pretty good for what It does. I use it on my laptop and not speakup, because it supports several software synths. You can obtain the source for yasr from: yasr.sourceforge.net You can obtain Michael's eflite server from: eflite.sourceforge.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Holden <jason2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, May 07, 2003 11:32 PM Subject: Re: question about speakup > YASR, Flite??
