Re: [orca-list] which linux distro

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

There's configuration stuff that has to be done in kde for jovie or ktts 
whatever it's called this week before speech will start running.  With 
an iso where someone had configured this stuff and got it talking in 
which the iso could also install that configuration some accessibility 
shortcuts would get created which are necessary for those of us without 
sighted assistance regularly available.  One thing I have figured out. 
An iPhone in landscape mode on a tripod positioned correctly to see the 
whole screen can be very useful for any be my eyes volunteer who is 
called to help out with computer configuration so long as at least the 
computer user and/or the volunteer know what they're doing with that 
configuration.  The tripod keeps the camera steady and frees up both 
hands of the computer user for typing.
