A very nice idea indeed. Trouble is, (at least us artic users) Artic cards require a sonixtts.com driver before speech programs other than artic's own artic or business vision will work on them. Unless artic gets their hands out from where they're sitting on them, we won't have linux access directly. At the moment, using a pc as a terminal provides the greatest flexibility for blind users.
