As far as I know there is no support for speakup under any of the **bsd operating systems. Some of the softsynths might compile however the primary development environment for many of them is Linux. Espeak should build and run if BSD has portaudio although I am not sure on this. Orca is part of gnome, and should also function, not sure how well however. There are a few blind people who use bsd styel operating systems, however those I know use telnet or ssh to access the machines from Windows. OSX of course has voiceover.

Is there any blind user that uses FreeBSD for personal dayly productivity? Is it possible to install it without sighted assistance? Many thanks Cleverson _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
