Regarding input devices, could a user space speakup be controlled from a external numeric keypad plugged into a usb port? This would depend on whether we could identify the key presses as coming from the external keypad. brltty has a stable approach for gethering console output. So one of the missing pieces is a way to control speech output. If key presses on an external keypad could be routed to speakup and not available to other applications, we might have a relatively simple solution. Chris Chris
