Jason said: "If it becomes reliable and works in real time, it could be adopted as the default for Linux systems."

 

Real time meaning when asked for on a host computer, or meaning when networked via Internet with a networked databank?

 

It will run on a host computer (i.e., it doesn’t rely on any remote server), but, if I remember the Mozila blogs correctly, a current limitation is the processing time that it requires. This may not deliver the responsiveness required for screen readers, Emacspeak, and similar applications as yet. I would expect Mozilla to be working on the limitations, however.
