I am usually only reading, since I have yet to make Speakup work for long and I need to keep Windows going to have work. My thanks to all for the technical and philosophical insights. I stay on the list because my needs may change and a console with speech strikes me as a practical way to use a computer. Braille is not my strong point and I would flounder using it, but appreciate that it is also a possible future solution. I remember the dialogue to work with the kernel developers and the response. My sense is that everyone is busy and most of this development is done as volunteers. That applies to both Speakup and the kernel. Or is development on the kernel done by paid programmers? All I have to say is thanks to all who are passionate and dedicated to Speakup and Linux to keep working on it. It gives me hope I will be able to use it when I am ready, because there will be this pool of code contributed on this project. Sincerely, Scott -- Scott D.
