Dallas/Fort Worth Sighted Volunteer

[Ron Kassen]

Dave,
I don't live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but I just wanted to let you know
that we all appreciate your willingness to pitch in when we need help.
Sometimes we get frustrated when we can not tell what is going on.  Tings
don't work perfectly all the time, and sometimes speech is not accessible
for short periods of time.  I just had the experience of installing Windows
NT workstation at work, and there is no way whatsoever to have a talking
install.  I know how to answer the prompts, I just need to know what they
are.  I have not converted to Linux yet, but I am planning on it in the very
near future.  Thanks again for the message.

I stumbled across the speakup mailing list by following a link from
slashdot- which is a pretty cool web site, though I don't know if it's
friendly in the auditory or brail sense..  I'm not a blind person and
don't know any, just wanted to offer my assistance if anyone in the
Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area needs lend of a set of eyeballs for trouble
shooting computer junk.  I have no experience whatsoever with any of the
products that may be in use by blind people, but am intrigued by the
voice interface concept.  Anyway, keep up the good work and GO LINUX.  I
hope the Gnome team is giving some thought to voice synthesis
modules/plugins for the new Linux interface being developed.

Best Regards,

Dave Surina
