Hi Janina, The point is one of personal curiocity, questions about software engineering, and just general interest in why. I really would like to know if something like this is possible, and if the only reason for having it in the kernel is for boot messages. Plus, I like SpeakUP, *smile* Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 3:38 PM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Speakup in user space, why or why not? Sina, I don't understand the "why" of your question. You already have emacspeak, speech-dispatcher, and yasr for speech as user space based access. You So, what's the point? Sina Bahram writes: > I thank you all for one fact.
