I'm currently taking a 4-day C++ class. I sit next to a blind student. After a couple sessions of repeating code snippets to him orally I see that for him, learning C++ is going to be a difficult challenge. I have yet to see him type a single character of code. While I believe he needs to kick start himself a bit more, I can't blame him for not coding. All the instructional materials, and the instructor's approach, are geared to those students with 2 functional eyes, 2 functional hands, and 2 functional ears. I think he can do it with something more...something better. Just what that something is defies definition. Certainly it is not the miserably ineffective JAWS software he works with. The class is using Microsoft Windows XP and Visual Studio .NET 2002. Can Red Hat Linux provide that 'something extra'? How can I get a bash shell to work for him -- is there any software that can convert standard input to speech? Thanks Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
