Dear users, As i know, SBl (suseblinux screen reader) is included in some Opensuse repository, and Adriane Knoppix is also having this screen reader included and it's configuration files has been modified, so this screen reader is not communicating with external synthesizer or with supported braille device, but with Speechdispatcher directly. Thank's to MR Klaus Knopper and his colleagues, who are professional developers. I did not find computer, which would be incompatible with Ubuntu Jaunty, some very old computers, dated to year before year 2000 will have troubles not with plaing greeting sound when Gnome has been started, but with cooperation with Espeak and other synthesizers.
I Am recommending all professional programmerrswho are now in this mailing list, if they would start professional academic discussion with competent programmers, who are responsible for developing The Linux kernel. Also developers of Sepakup could be invited to this programmers discussion. Why core developers of Linux kernel do notwant to officially include Speakup patch to The kernel? Debian distro and also Ubuntu can use this package made special packages to include Speakup with Espeak, i do not know The names of all packages, which are necessary to install Speakup support with Espeak. Even NTFS3G support is awailable in The Debian repository, so Debian users do not have to recompile whole kernel to include support for NTFS access. And in Ubuntu, this driver is officially included for more than 2 years. , -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
