Hello all, Was just wondering if there are any plans to modify SpeakUP in the future for IRC use. Problem is when you're typing, it silences the scrolling text, and you have to replay the screen to keep up. I was thinking of a special setup where there would be a dedicated "shut the hell up" key you could use. Otherwise, the system would keep talking as you typed your replies. I'm sure the capslock and keypad insert keys would fit the bill in such a case. Most screen readers can't handle IRC without some kind of work-around. Anyway, I think the "any key" method of silencing the display hinders productivity in some cases, and could be handled better with a dedicated silence key or mode. I'd love having such a mode when using the shell and IRC, so as to be able to do two things at the same time, much like I could do when I was sighted. If this ability already exists in SpeakUP, so that the screen reader responds only when specifically requested, please tell me how, because most of the time I don't need to hear what I'm typing when other things are happening in real-time. Any opinions? Michael
