Hello Greg, Many thanks for your info! Will install and see how it works for me. It was my thought as well to run a screen reader and see how it works. The question is how one switch from Wine to something else in Linux. But to me it looks like it is run from a console so it shouldnt be any problems. I am running latest Debian.
