Hi all, My name is adam and I am completely blind. I am extremely interested in using grml and have had a go all ready.
I don't own a hardware synth and so have had to use swspeak, however I am not intirely sure how to use the screenreader (and indeed, not entirely sure what screenreader it is), so I was just wondering if anyone can help me with the basics (for example is there an equivalent to the "JAWS cursor" in this screenreader?). Also I was wondering how you use the screenreader with anything which has a gui.
Please can someone point me in the direction of a manual, or give some basic keystroke information? Thanks in advance, from Adam.
Hi Adam
I've been digging around a little to try to help. You probably already know what Mika wrote a few days ago but I'll just quote him to make sure:
Mika: If you don't own a hardware synthesizer you might want to use software speakup. Just boot grml with "grml swspeak" and as soon as booting finished (you should hear an informational sound then) type "swspeak" in the commandline. Then the computer should start talking to you. :)
So that is how to start it. Swspeak means "software synthesizer for Speakup". The Speakup User's Guide is at
http://www.linux-speakup.org/spkguide.txt
Lastly, there is some grml configuration help on the wiki page at

Best Wishes and I hope this is of some assistance, Maurice
