Guys, I have some bits of questions in downloading and more about speakup.
1st. In my subject in our school's laboratory, we are using Fedora 6. But my problem is where to download the latest version of Speakup.
2nd. Is it okay to use the latest version of Speakup in Fedora 6?
3rd. Can Speakup works well with all Open Office applications?
4th and last. What can you tell me about the accuracy between JAWS screen reading capabilities and SpeakUp regardless on what OS they are use. Only the accuracy and voice performance.
Please, tell me all about these questions. I will appreciate all your response, because I am not familiar in SpeakUp and using Linux OS.
Thanks a million.

Given the size of the internet, I suppose there exists some remote possibility that some site somewhere archived the speakupmodified iso images of fc6, but I have no clue what such a site might be, assuming one exists in the first place. As for your question regarding where to get the latest speakup, the best answer is from the git repository, but I assume that you wanted to know about the speakup review package, rather than the source code that you could patch into a linux kernel, which is what you'd end up getting from git. Since you're asking about fedora, and about speakup, I think the best place I can refer you to is http://www.speakupmodified.org. Hth, and good luck.

No, speakup doesn't work with openoffice.org applications. What you want for that is orca, a screen reader for the gnome desktop. Gnome and orca, and the openoffice.org suite as far as I know, are all included in the speakupmodified fc9. Having said that, I've done some limited checking out of how well orca works with openoffice.org, and from that have concluded that it works fairly well. Maybe someone else with more experience in that area can comment.

In my subject in our school's laboratory, we are using Fedora 6. But my problem is where to download the latest version of Speakup. The latest versions are in git so use a git client and do a git-clone git://hubbs.homedns.org/speakup.git > 2nd. Is it okay to use the latest version of Speakup in Fedora 6? I doubt it. That is a very very old version of Fedora! get the latest version which is 9, I believe. look at http://speakupmodified.org for more details. It has the latest speakup already built in. > 3rd. Can Speakup works well with all Open Office applications? No, not even. You have to be in gnome and use the Orca screen reader with that to use Open Office. It works quite well with Orca too. No relation to Speakup at all. > 4th and last. What can you tell me about the accuracy between JAWS screen reading capabilities and SpeakUp regardless on what OS they are use. Only the accuracy and voice performance. I don't do Jaws and never will! I don't do anything with Freedom Scientific. I think comparing linux and windows screen readers is night and day different. Speakup would compare more acurately with an old DOS screen reader like ASAP or Vocal-Eyes. You might try comparing a windows screen reader with Orca under gnome in linux as they both use GUI environments. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://holmesgrown.ld.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIn1HIWSjv55S0LfERA/XUAKC2wbCYWHfHWRNeabG6bQPwB5CDQwCeI8fo /40Ox4eGAKOdvl0Xz286aKs= =rpsc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
