Re: Speech-dispatcher as a service?
There is a similar initiative in the Spanish-speaking environment, called tiflobuntu. It seems clear that this solution is being replicated around. IMO it shows two things: 1) Ubuntu out of the box is too fiddly to set up right for accessibility. 2) There is a certain amount of reduplication of effort going on. It would be good if people who are working in this type of solution could (internationalization aside) get together and issue a common accessibility-optimized distro, run from same repositories, etc. Even better would be if Ubuntu came like that already, but that's probably harder to manage. --David. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Speech-dispatcher as a service?
Blindubuntu even contained yasr screen reader connected to a Speech dispatcher and festival Czech database, so users can use yasr for reading texts displaied in console. Speakup can be added to The installed system too. And braille displays are automatically detected like Ubuntu feisty and Gutsi Gibbon. I would like to thank MR Hanke, that he published this message, because MR Sukany is very clever linux administrator, his knowledge of Linux operating system is ammazing, he is even publishing articles in The Czech magazine Linux Express. I think, that this man could cooperate with core developers of Ubuntu to make accessibility features in The box. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

this may save some of you the time
Hi, for anyone wanting to try blindubuntu. It isn't in English. Mike. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: this may save some of you the time
mike: Hi, for anyone wanting to try blindubuntu. It isn't in Englishis It basically is, because all the components are international, but documentation needs to be translated and some configuration modified a bit. I don't think that it's useful for non-english speakers right now, but I'm pretty sure that the amount of work needed to make it international is very little (no programming etc.).

Yes, working with people is difficult, but keeping a parallel distribution is a lot of long-term work. See what happened in Debian: I pushed the support for braille devices, and added a wiki page describing how to check that it still works. The result is that a few debian-installer people actually do test it themselves, so I don't need to do _any_ work any more on that regard and I could push the support for speakup, for which I added a wiki page, etc. Samuel -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
