Subject: Ultrasonix [was Re: What screen reader?
Date: Mon, 07 Jun 1999 14:40:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3.0.32.19990607144024.00690a3c@pop3.concentric.net> (raw)
I looked at Brian Seldon's ultrasonix page
http://www.henge.com/~brian/
And followed the links to what seems to be the current FTP site.
The most recent README I could find was dated Aug 1998
ftp://exp.trace.wisc.edu/usonix/outgoing/README
It starts off by saying
quote
This is a public snapshot of Ultrasonix. Large chunks
don't work, but large chunks do. After building the snapshot,
you will be able to get spoken feedback from most X clients which:
1) were built with either Athena or Motif widgets
2) were dynamically linked
unquote
Does someone know of more recent work?
