Getting Involved

[Rob Whyte]

Good afternoon from Australia;

I'm Rob and have been following this, I come from a vision impairement 
perspective.

This is all very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed the Youtube 
presentation, I also have been involved in Vinux distro for vision 
impaired though it has become stale in past several years.

My daily driver is nix either Freebsd or Debian dirivitives.

Due to tennis elbow/RSI I use a combination of Kenesis keyboard, foot 
switch, screen reader and at work Dragon at times.

What ever happened to Simon software that was about for a long time on nix?


I'd be interested in sharing further TTS options for those that prefer 
more treditional voices suxh as Eloquence on Linux availabel through Oralux.


What was the IRC channel, I missed it in the thread/  My handle on IRC 
is Fudge.


Thank you all, will be following along.
