RE: Creating an Operating System with speech included


Actually you can use the command line fine with Orca there is an issue
though when you want to use root.  There is work sometimes using
administration apps you have to switch to a root level of orca which takes a
bit of work.

Oh Ken, you disappoint me.
I was more and more convinced that Orca could be used well at least with 
some apps, but now I hear that in order to access the command line I need to

use another screen reader.

Well, this is not needed at all under Windows where I can use Jaws with apps

with a GUI and with apps that run in a command line, and I even use Linux 
with Jaws by SecureCRT.
