Basically, you install a firefox plugin which enables emacspeak to access the dom, and also install firevox which = provides speech output. Its then theoretically possible to control firefox using emacspeak and hear the output with firefox. If you install xvfb which = is a virtual x server you can even do this without running a graphical = desktop. I haven't actually had time to set this all up, so the above is based on discussions on the emacspeak list and Raman's emacspeak blog. Personally I find the firefox access with orca to be quite good so = haven't really felt it was necessary, but thought someone might be interested = since the question of firefox in a shell was raised.
