Speakup and Suse 9.3 Professional

[Karen Lewellen]

I have somewhere and will look for an article from the Sues  site that 
details specifically that braille is supported, however I amnot a braille 
user at all, so cannot say anything firsthand as to its abilities.  In 
fact I had wondered 
why Sues was not spoken of here, although I  understand why from these 
exchanges.  Given this information suggested how important braille access 
was to them, perhaps you may be better ser served asking those directly 
involved with the Sues distribution.
braille has always been important to them, although the lack of references 
to speech led me to look elsewhere.
I will post the article when I find where it is in my system.
