Don't set it to run all the time, but only when screen reader is active.

Take care,

system resources on a daily basis, and I ad to re-boot to be able to do
anything with my computer. A 1.7 ghz P4 processor, & 256 MB ram. On broad

setiathome is one of a few ongoing distributed computing projects.  The goal
of this project is to locate extraterestrial communications in space. Linux
can run software as well as other operating systems to do this work once
it's downloaded onto your computer.  The software is supposed to do its work
when the computer is left on line and unused.  If other more complex tasks
are ongoing then it's supposed to go inactive.  The software downloads files
from astronomy observatories and then does the analysis on what was found in
those files then reports the analysis back to another site.  I figure others
on other worlds have managed to do travel between star systems and probably
don't even use radio spectrum for communications because of the slow speed
of communications.  I've got no idea what's being used but I also think just
on the odd chance we manage to find another world with beings at or a little
beyond our stage of development this project might work.
