Help with running Speakup on Kali Linux

[Jason White]

It does for me (requires NVDA, or JAWS version 2018 build 1712.10, and Windows 10 version 1709).

Speakup on a real Linux machine is better, of course, but I find myself using Windows Subsystem for Linux frequently these days so that I can switch between it and the GUI desktop without having to switch machines or reboot - and without requiring virtualization.

In my view, there's still nothing more accessible, or even as accessible to screen reader users than the Linux console environment.

I just checked and the bash on windows shell does not speak with jaws nor does the vi editor.

It's generally Ubuntu (userspace only) by default, but I believe that you can set it up with others (SuSE, etc).

The speakup kernel driver won't work, as the Bash on Windows doesn't use a Linux kernel. But, being a standard windows console, it might work with Microsoft tools.
