Hi Ann, On 4 Apr 2004 at 17:35, Ann Parsons spoke, thus:
[Snip] > I run Emacs and Speakup concurrently. Well, don't forget that you've got a braille display right there on your BrailleNote! Try BRLTTY - you'll like it if you're a braille animal. It works with BNs, but the only thing I hate about it is that if you have the QT you have to use the SDF JKL keys to input braille. I'd love to use the actual keyboard. Oh, well. Anyway, just in case you felt Speakup was the only screen reader - BRLTTY works much better with standalone apps IMHO than Speakup, and it tracks the focus very well. Links (the things you click on), Pine (urgh), Mutt, Gopher, Nano, Vim, and a whole loada stuff suddenly become accessible. Find BRLTTY info at http://www.mielke.cc/brltty/ . You may be able to get binary packages for your distro. For Debian it'll be "apt-get install brltty". If you use Slackware, I advise you to go fetch the source and compile it (or ask someone else to do that for you - I'd be quite happy to oblige there). Equally, there are other speech packages like Jupiter and YASR. Last, if you do in fact have more than one com port there is no reason why you can't use both Speakup and BRLTTY or any other braille-and-speech combination, the same holds if you use YASR with Flite or Festival for speech. > <smile> This is an Off Topic subject so best to quit now. errrrr... just a wee little titchy bit. But I mentioned that BRLTTY works with the BrailleNote, so I'm alright. :-) Cheers, Sabahattin -- Thought for the day: Advertising (n): the science of arresting the human intelligence for long enough to get money from it. -- Stephen Leacock.
