State of accessibility in linux

[Ryan Mann]

Do you mean you actually like using Voice Over with the terminal?  
That's one thing I don't like about it because it doesn't read terminal 
automatically.  In my opinion,  one of the main things a screen reader 
should be able to do is to read things automatically.
