The only problem is installation. you will probably need another computer running a telecom package like teraterm and a serial cable or a machine running a telnet client for a redhat/fedora (?) telnet install. Speakup does support software speech as of recently, but I cant comment on it as I've never used it. Your best bet is still hardware speech if you can get a synth. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farhan" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
