I of course am using speakup, but I also have=20= got gnome and orca installed should it require using something like openoffi= ce (should orca work with that part). I have asked the person who has said t= hat they can give me this information in powerpoint format, whether they cou= ld convert it to another format, but I said I would make enquiries whether i= t would be possible for me to read powerpoint format.
