years now (using brltty), only on console. One of my friends discovered the
Speakup project and I had a look at it. It seems to be really interesting.
But can someone tell me what's it all about? I mean, I already tried
Gnopernicus (without finishing it -- too many errors when compiling and I
didn't have time to look at it). But anyway, I never used something like
speakup or emacs-speak, etc. Can someone tell me more about it? What are the
difficulties, and what can it offer for a blind user? I never used speech,
so braille is enough for me anyway...
