But wouldn't that be even more useless when using speech only? I'd think that knowing what has changed, rather than what hasn't changed, is more helpful. >These things are all not a big problem when you are working with a braille >display and speech is enabled in addition. But when working with speech only >and when you have no braille display there are some situations where it is >not always clear where the focus is and whats the content of the screen if >only a part or the changing part of a line is spoken. Yes, I understand. Since I myself am not a speech-only user, these things aren't as intuitive to me. >So maybe the basic question is if brltty's speech support is only an >addition to braille or if brltty can be used also without a braille display >with speech only. It started out as an add-on, but, over time, speech support has been improving. I have no objection to trying to make it even better. >IMHO currently working with speech only is at least hard and not allways easy, >but maybe working with brltty and speech only is not intended which is also >okay, if everyone is aware. I wouldn't go that far, i.e. to declare that it isn't intended. I don't know how well other speech alternatives work, and see no reason why brltty's support for speech shouldn't be improved. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
