Main advantages of SBL over Speakup

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to port SBL (Suse Blind Linux) to Ubuntu.  It is the
default console screen reader in Knoppix Adrian.  Some users report
they prefer SBL, and two main reasons are given:

- SBL has application specific keybindings, all of which are
user-configurable.  This makes it easy to be more Orca compatible.
- SBL relies only on the uinput and console devices, and doesn't need
any special modules to be compiled for the current kernel.  This makes
it possible to ship as a simple Debian package.

Is there any chance the speakup guys might want to work on either of
these two features?  I think it would greatly increase the appeal of
speakup to the main distro developers.

Thanks,
Bill
