Well Deedra-and-All, while I know next2nothing about kernels, as a user of
practicly an only Linux screen-reader which I can use with my Dec-Talk U S B, on
1 large hand, durring the last 11years, I am greatful that Speakup was created,
but on another hand, I really miss much of the customination which I had with
Vocal-Eyes in DOS, where I could completely configure 3 different dictionaries,
so I had complete controll of how characters, keystrokes, and words were
read-and-pronounced.
I think its been several years since YASR was updated-and-Mike was unable to get
it running in my DecTalk unit. I suppose in a certain way, Emacspeak is an only
other example of a non-commercial solution in Linux, as where NVDA on the
windows side has received seemingly great exceptance, but in general when you
have a commercial product, there are more features, more development, and
certainly more interaction among users-and-staff.
Quite some months ago Kirk took an informal servey of improvements which we were
interested in-and-there was going to be some sort of live chatt. Thanks for
listening
Hart
