While know nothing about curses, have put together a minimal form of a
menu system for bootup on the raspberry pi mini-computer, working with
speakUp, and, using python to generate menus, and, then receive prompt
input, and, it all works fine.
If relevant, all am then doing is using subprocess.call() function from
python to then execute shell commands, but anyway.
Stay well

hello everyone,
I just decided to subscribe to this list for talking about speakup. I
have been using it some years ago for accessing to the Linux console
(my main environment was gnome, though). Now I'd like to ask you a few
questions, because I am trying to use only the console and speakup is
a very important part of my learning curve.
1. I have been noticing that there are some programs that are pretty
accessible with Speakup, others that require some modifications
(config files or speakup modifications) to improve their accessibility
with the screen reader, but I'd like to know how much accessible are
ncurses based interfaces with speakup? for a small project I am trying
to do, I have to create a few menus and some other widgets in the
console, so I've decided to use the python programming language and
the curses module already included. But for a strange reason, all of
the examples that I have found don't work properly with speakup, and I
am not sure exactly why. I couldn't find any documentation regarding
to this. Do i have to do something for improving the curses
accessibility from Python? Do I need to use another programming language?
2. English is not my first language, so I've installed the
speakup-tools package and tried to look for a translation in my
language (Spanish) but it is not created yet. So basically I've
downloaded the repository at
http://linux-speakup.org/speakup-tools.git and started to work in a
few improvements and a spanish translation for the speakup messages.
Seems it's working properly. I also have changed the speakup_setlocale
script (I have not added this modification to the script located in
the repository, yet) so it list all directories in @pkgdatadir, looks
for a file called languagename in every directory and shows a menu
with all available languages. If called with -l you can set the
language code directly. Is it possible to send changes upstream
somewhere?
3. I am learning russian, and I've noticed that there isn not a
russian translation for speakup, it would be OK if we could create a
translation for this language? More specifically, do you think speakup
will not have issues with the russian characters and their encoding?
(I assume it would be UTF-8, but I'd need to test).
thank you in advance for your work in the Linux community.
Best Regards,
Manuel.
