Hi Robert,

As far as I'm aware only a few speech synthesisers are supported (the
Infovox and Apollo2 are amongst these). However there is no review
functionality from the keyboard so you really do need a braille display for
functions such as read-prior-line.

So in short, SuSE-BLinux is only suitable as a braille-only or primarily
braille with occasional speech feedback.

Howevere there are other ways of accessing Linux through speech alone, and
if you write me off-list I'll be happy to discuss these with you.

Saqib
