Greetings,
There is no doubt that Gnome access is, at the moment, inferior to Windows
access for visually impaired people. However, those of us who were using
computers when Windows started will remember the problems we had then. I,
for one, appreciate very much the work that's being done arou
Hi,
Bill is right. We shouldn't sell the Gnome access to short yet. After
all there is work that needs to be done, but we have achieved huge
breakthroughs in access already.
For example, three years ago i could do nothing at all in Gnome. Now,
I daily use Evolution for my email, mozilla as my defa

Hi.
I have to agree with Samuel.
I've been trying to use Gnome for over 2 years now. There has been
progress, but I still use the text console for everything. Elinks in
the text console provides better access than Sun's Mozilla. I can't
access remote systems in the Gnome environment, so Gnome

They say "open source is not accessible", which is wrong, but what is
true is "open source is not yet really accessible".
I do not agree with this assessment.

It is vital to our survival that we do not agree too quickly with such

our their daily work; without our existing work, as it already is, this
would not be possible.
There are four open source assistive technolo

Hi Olivier:
I believe the message should say "now running", instead of "not
running". A couple of things to look out for; note that you will have
to restart your bonobo-activation-server after adding a new gnome-speech
driver, before it will appear in the list of available drivers. Also,

with elinks I ended up buying 3 voices.

Hi,
How can I tell if my voice is aSwift or a Theta voice. I recently
ppurchased David for Windows, and was wondering if it would work with
Gnome-speech if I downloaded the Linux version and tried it.
