Thanks for the reply. You’ve certainly given me some ideas and things to think about.

I've read no news on this from slackware.com on their website and I suppose it's possible slackware.com could have given up on providing accessibility but I haven't read that either so don't quote me on that. If slackware ever gets to a point it can work with a kickstart file though maybe many more things will become possible. > > One website I read a while back had instructions for installing emacspeak as a screen reader environment and making a talking login prompt. > Slackware does have an initialization file where boot up commands can be put once an iso gets put on a hard drive opened up edited then burnt to dvd again but you'd have to have commands you could put into it to get speech going. I don't know if yasr can run a sound card, but if it can and you can come up with the commands that might be a possibility. Other thing you might try is searching slackbuilds.org for kickstart and see if anyone made a script to build it on slackware. > > On Mon, 29 Feb 2016, Haden Pike wrote: > >> Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 19:32:22 >> From: Haden Pike <haden.pike@xxxxxxxxx> >> Reply-To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. >> <speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> To: speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: Installing Slackware Without Hardware Synthesizer >> Hi all, >> >> I do not have a hardware synthesizer.
