Oh that's bizarre. And the Debian accessibility department says it should be good. Since my installation is just for testing, should I start again with 7 and try upgrading to 8? And if so, what's the recommended procedure for doing that without breaking espeakup or Speakup itself?

The install was assisted by Speakup, which I started at the install screen main menu by pressing s<ENTER>. I was quite impressed with the way it all worked, with one silly exception: There was a screen with 78 choices, one per line, and I couldn't figure out how to scroll the screen backward to read the first and second screens of choices, so I just went with the default choice, which turned out to be the correct one for me for the question being asked. Very impressive. No Orca, no forms, just straight CLI.

Someone named Samuel from Debian accessibility told me I should install the espeakup package, but apt-get can't find it. What'd I do wrong? And why would I even need to be doing this since obviously Speakup is included in the install, you'd think, or at least I did, that it would already exist on the system and be able to be run. > >Thanks in advance for any and all assistance and advice. >_______________________________________________ >Speakup mailing list >Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup > >_______________________________________________ >Speakup mailing list >Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
