1 Hi,
2 I'm in the unfortunate position of being a potential new Gentoo
3 user who happens to also be blind.
4 I know that the default kernel for installation comes with Speakup, but
5 it doesn't come with any compiled software synthesizer, unless I'm very
6 much mistaken.
7 My next natural recourse is to try and get speech through the
8 installation via SSH. But I'm not sure whether my machine is even fully
9 detected, let alone how the SSHD startup process would be done. I'm in
10 the position of wanting to type as few commands without speech as
11 possible. (While I trust my typing ability, it's a little difficult to
12 be sure if everything will work.)
13 What I'm wondering is whether anybody might have some advice for me on
14 how to proceed? Is there a way to get software speech at installation?
15 If so, how? If not, what should be done?
16 (I would be able to SSH into the machine from a laptop with speech, if
17 SSHD would start.)
18 Thanks,
19 Zack.
