Hi Beth -- Well the reason I never used it was because I am a vi user and so am not quite used to emacs commands, which are a little different. But I hear if you already know how to use emacs as an editor, the emacspeak environment isn't so hard to learn... Just a thought. Take care and good luck. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beth Hatch" <bhatch200@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Laura Eaves'" <leaves1 at carolina.rr.com>; "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:37 PM Subject: RE: Speakup on Other Unix Operating Systems Hi Laura, No, I haven't tried this program at all, but of course I've heard of Emacspeak. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I heard the learning curve was fairly steep, normally that's not a problem, but when you're on a deadline with not a lot of time, I thought I may stick with Speakup using a terminal in order to get the job accomplished faster.<smile> Thanks for the message!!

Subject: Re: Speakup on Other Unix Operating Systems Hi Beth -- Have you looked at emacspeak? I haven't used it but I was under the impression that it is not limited to linux. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beth Hatch" <bhatch200@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 10:33 PM Subject: Speakup on Other Unix Operating Systems Hello all, I have a job possibility where I may need to have speech access to BSD unix? Is it possible to use Speak up with this operating system, or is there some other screen reader that will work? I have access to a Dectalk USB and a SB live sound card if software speech is support. If you prefer, please feel free to write to me off list at bhatch200 at comcast.net if this is off topic for this list. If Speakup would work with it, that would much easier.<smile> I suppose I could also use ssh to get into the UNIX box from another computer. Thanks for any suggestions.
