Efficiently using terminal with screenreader

[Reece O'Bryan]

OK, I understand what you’re saying now! I’m definitely going to get one of these to play around with.

I very much appreciate your exclamation of the history of this. I’m sorry if my questions are obvious, but I have only been blind a few years and this part of computers is quite different without a GUI. 
 

Thank you,

Is it possible to compile speak up on my MacBook? I’m still having trouble navigating a terminal and if I could run speak up, I could set up an automated workflow to turn off voiceover, run speak up and run terminal? I don’t understand why there are not commands to navigate line by line in the native terminal on OS X.
