Re: Mozilla - like JAWS or like Hal?

["Tom Masterson" <kd7cyu yahoo com>]

I have not yet been able to do this but I would really like to be able to
review the whole screen without having to move the active cursor.  In
windows with jaws and my braille display once I get into a window I can use
the display and see everything in the window and when I hit the cursor key
it takes me back to right where I was when I entered the window.  I don't
really want my braille diplay to act just like speech output does although
it needs to be an option.  Part of the advantage I find in using braille is
the ability to review what is around the area I am in without having to
change modes, move my hands off the display etc...

As far as i've seen (and i've seen very little of this) it's pretty
good, but things can always get better.

I think it's clumcy, just as the Virgo concept was. I'd rather have it
the jfw/hal way where you can get somewhat of a picture of what windows
look like and so on. The layering system i think is not so effective.
Too much keypresses to do simple tasks like clicking somewhere to
select something and/or interact with a control.

I use Festival. Am looking for a swedish speaking software synth for
Linux, that would be cool.

Mozilla and the like, sound editors and digital audio work stations,
Midi and audio sequenzers and an email program preferably with pgp/gpg
support, don't know if there maybe is a usable program out there, it
may be, for all i know.>
