CoLinux-and-Speakup?

Hi,

You might want to look at NVDA.  It's far from a complete and 
fully-featured screen reader, but two things it supports very well are 
the command prompt and OpenOffice.org in Windows.  I use Window-Eyes as 
my primary screen reader in Windows and it routinely drops the last line 
on the screen in console windows.  It won't speak at all with 
OpenOffice.org.  NVDA doesn't have either of those problems.  The only 
drawback is that NVDA requires software speech.  It comes with ESpeak 
and can use any SAPI voice but it doesn't support any hardware speech at 
all.  Also, it's still very much in development and has a lot of missing 
features.  With that said, it's very good for console apps like the 
command prompt and Cygwin.  I was able to use Lynx via the Cygwin ssh 
without any problem.  http://www.nvda-project.org/
