I'll have to take look to see if there's anything more than I know about already. What I know of is a single user window that can be defined on the fly to be spoken but I don't recall if that can be used to block output. Also, this window cannot be saved for future use. I would like to see some day , the ability to save this and maybe other windows and load them on demand when a given application is run. I was thinking of maybe saving these window cordinates in a /sys/variable along withother speakup parameters and then a shell script could be used to load/save these stored values. I wonder how hard it would be to add new /sys/accessibility/speakup parameters for something like this.
