I am still fairly new to using Linux, I am a computer science major and am currently taking a C and unix class right now. I now feel comfortable enough with the basics to switch to using only a shell for access. I have played with Linux for a while, and have always preferred the console over Gnome desktop GUI for accessibility. I have almost no vision, and am currently using orca. Here is the link to the post I referred to on getting speakup running on Kali. http://linux-speakup.org/pipermail/speakup/2015-May/058755.html I followed all of the instructions here, and saw no change. Speakup never came up talking at the bootup screen. I tried typing speakup into the terminal while in gnome, but it didn't recognize the command. I don't know much about the kernel yet, it is something I will learn next quarter along with other operating system concepts. Thank you for the tip on switching to console mode. I would assume that I can switch back to Gnome using the same shortcut I used to switched to console mode (ctrl+alt+ 1-6)? Can someone take a look at this post and see if you can help?
