I just wanted to report that we've got one more record in favor of Speakup and its great usability to blind Linux users and system admins. I just returned from Thailand where I conducted a one-week workshop on accessibility of Linux to blind users and future blind system admins. The course went through fine and, believe it or not, we didn't have a need in another screen reader. Well, Speakup does a very bad job in editors such as Pico or Emacs, but I believe the cursoring issue will befixwed soon. One thing that was mostly confusing for the new blind Linux users is that they could not use another screen reader on the same port where Speakup was running. So, if this problem could be addressed in the future, it would be benefitial and, at least democratic, grin! Best wishes, Victor
