Speakup with linux backtrack

[Lexi A]

Hi, all.

I am new to linux and going to be studying a course which is heavily based
on the penetration testing distro of Linux known as Backtrack.  As far as I
know the university runs backtrack 5 which I believe is the latest version.

 

I am writing to ask if anyone has had experience of using backtrack with
speakup and how well it runs with the speech.  Also a little off topic,
would Orca run with the GUI parts of backtrack?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Lexi
