I am totally blind and have been using unix in one form or another for over 20 years. I use a serially attached terminal that has speech on it as my access method. I started out using an hp 150 modified with speech back in 1984 and now use an old 486 with jaws for dos and commo as my serial terminal. phil On Wed, Sep 18, 2002 at 06:29:32AM -0400, Honaker, Larry (DSIO-MS) wrote: > First question, are there any braille and speech access packages for > x-windows so that a blind person can work with in the Unix environment > competently? > > Second question, are there blind professionals out there working strictly in > a Unix environment?
