Sure is, and probably installed by default. The capslock key becomes the Speakup modifier. The rest is a la pop up keyboard, e.g. CapsLock-I is read current line and CapsLock-O is read next line. This isn't laptop specific. You can do it on a full 104 if you want to save your shoulder. I'm trying to do this more and more because my shoulder is showing signs of repetitive stress after 20 years of computing. I've even looked around for a keyboard with a left-handed numeric keypad because of that, but the pop up screen review is smarter. What I have been meaning to ask Kirk and the others who work on coding these things is how hard or easy it might be to provide a means to flip the qwerty definitions. For example, to split bilaterally down the qwerty between g and h so that CapsLock (or left alt or some such) plus E becomes current line.
