I use open suse 11.3 and 12.1 with KDE3 and 12.2 with KDE4. I much prefer 
KDE3. I use festival and espeak for TTS and Kmag. But each of these has 
limited use.

I saw this announcement back in April and am trying to figure out what it is. 
I understand that it is a D-Bus application, but I don't understand what it 
does to help my accessibility. Is it a user or developer application?

I visited the download site and saw that it is a Gnome application. I also 
visited the WIKI site and it appears to be for developers. 

My question is can I, as a user, download and use this application, to better 
enable me in the use of my computor. I would also like to know how it will 
aid me specifically.
