Speakup on Other Unix Operating Systems

[Laura Eaves]

Hi Beth --
Well the reason I never used it was because I am a vi user and so am not 
quite used to emacs commands, which are a little different. But I hear if 
you already know how to use emacs as an editor, the emacspeak environment 
isn't so hard to learn...
Just a thought.
Take care and good luck.

Hi Laura,

No, I haven't tried this program at all, but of course I've heard of
Emacspeak.  Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  I heard the learning
curve was fairly steep, normally that's not a problem, but when you're on a
deadline with not a lot of time, I thought I may stick with Speakup using a
terminal in order to get the job accomplished faster.<smile>

Thanks for the message!!

Beth

Hi Beth --
Have you looked at emacspeak?
I haven't used it but I was under the impression that it is not limited to
linux.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Good luck.

Hello all,

I have a job possibility where I may need to have speech access to BSD unix?
Is it possible to use Speak up with this operating system, or is there some
other screen reader that will work?  I have access to a Dectalk USB and a SB
live sound card if software speech is support.   If you prefer, please feel
free to write to me off list at bhatch200 at comcast.net if this is off topic
for this list.  If Speakup would work with it, that would much
easier.<smile>  I suppose I could also use ssh to get into the UNIX box from
another computer.  Thanks for any suggestions.

Beth
