Hi Ralf, Daniel and all others, Ralf, BRLTTY supports USB braille displays without any problems. It can even auto detect these devices as well. The devices it cannot auto detect are displays that are connected via a serial port. Then you need to specify these. Orca is the screen reader for the Gnome desktop. However, I have tried it with several applications including Audacity, Ardour and Rose garden as well as Gnusound. In Audacity the menus are accessible but not the preferences window. I have already reported this to the Audacity mailing list. In Ardour I was able to create a new project but I had audio problems so didn't try it that much. Rose garden is completely inaccessible. Gnusound is also accessible when it comes to the menu system and the preferences window but I had sound problems with it as well. For more information on Orca, visit: http://live.gnome.org/Orca For the console I have been looking at Ecasound, but haven't done much with it. If you have any further questions, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer. Just a comment, I have been using Debian Etch in the passed and it is possible to start BRLTTY at the CD boot prompt as I wrote earlier on. BRLTTYs oficial homepage can be found at: http://www.mielke.cc/brltty Now I am using Ubuntu Hardy but willing to change to something else. Best regards and many thanks for all your help, Christian
