Dear listers and particularly developers of SPeakup!
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

Well, thank you very much for the kind words about your adventures in
Thailand. It would be interesting to hear more about how they are
using Linux and speakup and the like.

We have rough support for cursoring and an accessable device
/dev/synth in the current version of speakup in cvs. It is still
pretty rough however but it is certainly coming along. Anyone that is
interested in playing with the cvs can drop me a note and I will send
out a script they can use to download and patch the cvs version into a
clean full source kernel.
If the folks already using the cvs version think the script is stable
enough, I could post it to the list and place it on the ftp area.

Does /dev/synth allow you to use emacspeak on the same port? If so,
I'd like that script. That's the only thing thats been stopping me
from trying speakup.

I don't know. I am not an emacspeak user. A couple of other folks
were going to try it and let me know how it worked or didn't, but I
haven't heard from any of them yet.

O, it doesn't matter. If /dev/synth will allow any program to access the ttySX
port while SPeakup is running , then be it Emacspeak or any other screen
reader, we're on a right ship!
