Web searches of "linux for blind" reveal       pages that are approx. 10 years old as first hits, at least in my language       space.               BR> blind user who wishes to get off Windows and migrate to linux but I'm        BR> not familiar with programs for the blind and know of none for linux.        BR> Any input would be appreciated.              My result to go further with the 10y old information failed. Some tools like       brltty can be found and it's still in activ development, others like festival       or txt2pho with MBROLA or Aranea seem to be discontinued.              I think the best way to find a tool for the blind is to ask the blind       community.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/424 426 428 452 550 616 664 700 240/77 420 5138       SEEN-BY: 240/5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/77 5832 229/426           |
