Speakup Vs. Screader (was Re: Maybe a strange question!)

[Jim Wantz]

Screader sounds primitive when compared to Speakup.  I'm glad I never
heard of it other than that oblique reference in the blind-l list.  It
seems like a waste of time.  What attracted me to Speakup was when I heard
Linux speaking from initialization to shutdown.
