If I understood you correctly, you are saying one should not recommend KDE for new users because it does not have a screen reader? I disagree with that type of logic unless there is an apriori information from the OP that having a screen reader is one of his requirements. Blindly assuming that every person needs a screen reader is more often wrong than right. Anyway, I did some digging and found that the task-kde-desktop package recommends gnome-orca. That means if you install task-kde-desktop it will pull gnome-orca, so you should have a working screen reader within KDE. % apt-cache show task-kde-desktop | grep -i recommends Recommends: kdeaccessibility, gnome-orca, k3b, k3b-i18n, plasma-nm, kdesudo, libreoffice-kde, apper, gimp, firefox-esr | firefox, libreoffice, libreoffice-help-en-us, mythes-en-us, hunspell-en-us, hyphen-en-us, system-config-printer, dragonplayer hope that helps raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
