speakup gets you into all of the places orca and lsr and gnopernicus can't
go because they're console interfaces. It might be run by default
whenever an xterm window opened up to speak the content in that window
too. The general use case for most on the speakup mailing list and the
blinux-list is that speakup runs in the console environment when x in any
of its forms isn't going to run or hasn't been started yet. With a
text-based installer that didn't use X to operate, speakup could probably
work to install ubuntu onto many more systems or failing that make it
possible for ubuntu to get bug reports back when installs fail maybe some
text equivalent of bug-buddy that could do its work with a working
internet connections and a few questions for the user. I wonder does that
bug-buddy have facility to add say a typescript file as part of the bug
report as an attachment to a report that's about to be sent? If so,
developers could get a blow by blow account of what happened to reproduce
the failure; along with other relevant system information perhaps captured
by something like discover.
