feisty speakup

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.
