I need to jump in here also to praise Speakup! I think there's a
tendency to take speakup for grantid.  At least I've done that.  I
really would like to contribute by adding some extra features but that
could bloat the thing and make it into something too sluggish or
whatever.  I have an old laptop here that cannot run a GUI system at
all and the Debian boot image won't even work on it but my trusty
Slackware distro plus Speakup come up talking every time now that I
have things configured right.  I can do this with my serial Speakout
synth or softsynth with espeak.

in any case, it flies great!

I do like Orca for things where point and click navigation is just
faster.  I mean the file browser and some of the auto mount features
are cool in gnome.
