Suggestion: Speakup desktop guide

[Zachary Kline]

Hiya,
I agree with this idea.  It's quite important--even if all the programs 
we're likely to ever run at the console are text-mode programs, we still 
want to know what works well, what's a bit more difficult, etc.
As for my experience, I like Nano or Emacs in combination with Emacspeak for 
text editing.  I use nail for email reading--yes, it's a command line 
program, but it's a very nice command-line program.  Web browsing, again, I 
turn to Emacspeak and W3: I don't really like using Lynx if I can avoid it.
Other than that, due to the unfortunate lack of support in Alsa for my sound 
card, I can't play audio or record it very well.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hello,

I think many new Speakup users would apreciate a kind of applications list
or guide reference, containing suggestions of applications for several
different tasks.

As an example, for me not to have to experience a lot of programs until I
discover what works fine with Speakup, or what people in general consider as
friendly for blind users, I could simply access a Wiki, read what people say
about what program to use to perform a given task, from reading mail til
browsing the web, reading rss, editing / processing text, managing files,
recording / hearing / editing audio, etc etc. And after I was tried some
programs I would put my own experience in this wiki... Is there already
anything like this?

Cheers,
Cleverson
