Here's the only reply I received till now. I don't think Speakup supports usb synths. But I don't own a hardware synth my self so I'm not sure. I know Speakup supports serial port synths though and I think it's possible to get a usb synth to work by using a usb to serial converter. But don't quote me on that! I use software speech with Speakup when I use Linux. I doubt Orca (the GNOME screen reader) supports usb synths either. In fact I don't use Orca at all. But a good place to get answers is the Speakup mailing list. The Speakup homepage can be found at: http://www.linux-speakup.org/ There is a link to the mailing list on the front page. There is a Orca mailing list as well but I don't have the address right now. I can dig it up if you are interested, but a google search for "Orca screen reader" should help as well :) Negoslav----- Original Message ----- From: "Farfar Carlson" <dgcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

will the Linux boot work through a USB-connected external speech, giving usJAWS throughout the restore? Somehow I don't think USB is active until Windows is up and running again.

I triedit few days ago. Totaly unusable without sighted help. I vote for Image forWindows. You receive Image for DOS and Image for Linux. And you can create vinux (a Linux distribution) live cd and have speech durring the restoration. Also you can create linux boot cd that you can use with external speech synthesizer.

The only weak point is that when your system has completelycrashed, there is no JAWS to speak so I need to have sighted help to starta complete restore from the boot CD. Another product that has received equal praise is Acronis, also usable with JAWS. Both are pretty moderately priced. interface.

I don't use Norton products any longersince their Antivirus since it was horrible with JAWS and really slowed down my computer. When I was using it I upgraded by calling them directly. I'm sure they'll be happy to take your money. BTW How well does Norton Ghost work with JAWS (even if the upgrade site doesn't)?
