Hi,
In terms of your first question, I'd argue that NVDA or any of the
screen readers available on Windows are going to give you a better
experience than Orca, although Speakup is a very mature product.
Obviously there are exceptions to the rule (and you'll most likely
hear from some of them after they've read my reply), but typically,
blind people write the code they want to run on their Pis on other
computers then just SCP it over.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Everyone,===========================================================
My name is Darrel and I live in the US.
I have dabbled in programming, (coding) on and off my whole life. I
currently write in html, PHP, MySQL and the rest of the web stuff.
I know almost nothing about Linux, other than I prefer it as a web server
and this is mostly how I have interacted with it.
A few years ago I needed to get a couple of measuring devices that had USB
connections to talk to me and I did, with the help of this list and a
Raspberry pi.
So that was the last time I used Linux at the command line level.
So now I would like to get back into it. I want to learn a little python
and think the PI is a good place to play.
Today I rewrote an SD card and with the help of this list I have my PI3B
talking with orca both in the shell and the GUI.
Now, with this background stuff out of the way I have a couple of questions.
Here are the first two.
As a totally blind user who is fluent with windows, and Mac OS and have
both, is the PI the best place to try python. I would like to because it is
pure Linux.
Question 2, When I do anything in terminal like listing the directory, I
hear the results immediately but I can not seam to go back and read the
output again. Is there a way to do this?
Thank You,
Darrel
