Hello,
I'd like to address a few points.
* First, as we discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if someone is
not subscribed, you are welcome to join), we want to create a new API to

complain if the onscreen keyboard conflicts with sticky keys.
What I am trying to say is that an onscreen keyboard should work
whether sticky keys is on or not.

Speech-dispatcher in general works well with screen readers. I am using it
with its generic module as I am writing this email.
It stops speech by killing the command-line program that is executed by
the generic module. This works better than one would expect.

Hi Willem:
That's good news about the DECTalk and TTSynth support. If we could get
a Cepstral/Swift module as well, I think we'd have the major synths
covered. Perhaps the gnome-speech FreeTTS code could be ported to the
SpeechDispatcher API someday, to give us two free engines (especially

Speech-dispatcher has support for the DECTalk Software speech and
Viavoice/TTSynth. It also has a generic module through which one can make
it work using any synthesizer that can take text on the command-line and

Hi Chris:
I'll try to respond to each of your points in turn:

Hi Luke,
I hope to be able to make something available this week, but can't
