To use the CVS checkout script you will need a working Linux machine, it is of no use if you only have a windows system. You also probably want to get speakup from git rather than CVS as that is where the current development is now. If you don't have a Linux system working now, you would do better getting a distro with speakup or another screen reader already built in. Depending on what you want to get from Linux, as a windows user you may find orca in the gnome desktop easier to get started with (ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) is possibly the easiest to get started with orca, GRML (www.grml.org) is a good starting point for looking at speakup, neither of these actually require an install to use them).
