Once speech is loaded you can use the speakup review commands to get around the screen. to get keyboard echo you echo 1 >/sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo or similar it is in there somewhere. to move by lines use capslock u i o, words are j k l and characters m , and . capslock and the numbers do volume, pitch and speed. There is a help key can't remember what it is but there is documentation on linux-speakup.org somewhere with all the key bindings. Regards, Kerry.
