State of accessibility in linux

[Michael Whapples]

The specific problems I have when using speakup for everyday things, would 
not be solved by changes in speakup, but would require some other text based 
software. The problems are javascript that will be recognised by those 
awkward sites that expect specific browsers and seem to refuse anything else 
and a decent OCR package.

There may be some features to make speakup quicker and easier to use, but in 
my mind it works very well with the text console. If it were to work with 
the Xwindow environment, it would loose some of those features I like now 
(speech all the time whilst the computer is running).

So, any other thoughts on what especially needs done, to make speakup a
viable solution for more users who need accessibility? Thanks. Andrew
