Re: Email reader for the blind

Hi David,

2009/12/19 David Bowskill david...@tpg.com.au:
 Hello all

 I have a friend who is virtually blind and would like to migrate from MS
 to Ubuntu.
 He requires a 'text-to-audio' program to read his emails.

 Does anyone know of an OS program which can run under Ubuntu to achieve
 this ?

I don't know how well it works but its there ;)

Ubuntu has great accessibility tools such as orca for the gui or
espeak for the cli (which some blind users prefer) check out:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility
Also if you happen to be on identi.ca (open source version of twitter)
there is a very adept blind linux user by the name of kajarii
http://identi.ca/kajarii that may be able to assist you further. He
also hangs out in irc although not a ubuntu user I believe the
application knowledge should transfer.
