The first day of the workshop has just got over. It has been very exciting. We actually tried two self booting CDs.
1. Oralux. Which loads emacspeak directly. This distribution is meant specially for persons with blindness and is extremely speech friendly. We do need to learn commands for getting around but it is really all very worth all efforts. The second is the distribution of Ubuntu which comes with screen reader called ORCA. It works well in the GNOM Graphic user environment and works well with open office word and excel. Both these Cds are now available from NAB Delhi and if any one wants to get these CDs instead of downloading it from web site, you could send request on [EMAIL PROTECTED] There will be a charge of 15 rupees for the CD and if you want this to be sent by courier then 25 rupees need to be added for this. Thus you could get these CDs in 40 rupees for one CD or 55 rupees for both.
