I know it is my lack of knowledge. As I understand it, Speak Up can work on any Linux OS written by any company. Is that right? However, it is easier to use the version compiled by GIT, because it comes with Speak Up already packaged with it. If I am correct, I can take Red Hat Linux or Suse Linux and apply Speak Up to them. Will Speak up work right out of the box for a lack of a better term, or do I have to insure certain drivers are installed first? also, if Red Hat or Suse has a GUI, will Speak Up work with it or would I have to script it as I do with JAWS? I would appreciate any clarifications on the above.
