Re: Blind Debian Potential User



Shane,
If you are slightly sighted, then you may want to consider KDE. Almost
all KDE applications have integrated text-to-speech functions. You
only need to install festival and KDE takes care of the integration.
You will then have a speech-enabled GUI environment, including web
browser. I use it extensively.

As the OP is using text-to-speech equipment, I am top-posting. Please
excuse me, and see my sig for why not to top-post.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
