Hi carin,
I would recommend
www.linux-speakup.org.
This is a screen reader for linux. I got it to work with redhat. It supports
only a limited number of hardware synths but it talks from boot to shutdown.
What kind of synth does he have?
As far as a distribution of linux. I recommend redhat. this will work with
speakup. It is even possible for him to install linux with speakup.
Send me questions privately if you feel better.
send mail to rick@oglevee.com
talk to you later and good luck!!
rick

Hi. I will just say right now that I will probably seem really dumb on this
list, but I'm helping a friend who is blind and was asking me about Linux,
and has no internet access.
So, the dumbest of the dumb questions, what would be the best screen-reader
for Linux? I've seen a lot about emacspeak, but will that do the job for
all linux utilities? Where can I get it for him? I went to a couple
places, expecting exe's, yep, I've spent too long with windows, and can't
figure out what to download. Is ithard to learn? A lot of the descriptions
I found sound like they're speaking Greek, and I thought I was good at
computer stuff. I tried to sign up to the emacspeak list, but can't tell if
I'm on or not.
Thanks in advance for being patient with me,
Carin
