I didn't have the time before to introduce myself -- so be it = now. My name's, as you've possibly noticed, Nick Van Vlaenderen. I'm a 16 = years old Gentoo Linux and OpenBSD user from Belgium. I use Linux for 3 = years now (using brltty), only on console. One of my friends discovered = the Speakup project and I had a look at it. It seems to be really = interesting. But can someone tell me what's it all about? I mean, I = already tried Gnopernicus (without finishing it -- too many errors when = compiling and I didn't have time to look at it). But anyway, I never = used something like speakup or emacs-speak, etc. Can someone tell me = more about it? What are the difficulties, and what can it offer for a = blind user? I never used speech, so braille is enough for me anyway... Cheers, Nick
