I primarily use Chris Brannons TalkingArch CD
I know I encouraged him to release such a CD at one point, but I never knew he actually did it. Great to hear that this exists now.
Yeah, I've had a couple releases since then, but I don't advertise enough, I guess. My Arch stuff is all hosted on http://the-brannons.com.
I am curious though: Is using the dialog-based systems like AIF even possible or convenient with a screenreader? I imagine it to be very difficult. Wouldn't it be easier to have a simpler interface that just asks questions and expects answers, rather than a dialog-based system?
The dialog interface works fine, more or less. There are a couple of things that one needs to do beforehand. export DIALOGOPTS='--visit-items' and use the "highlight tracking" mode of the screenreader. So Speakup will speak whatever selection you have made with the arrow keys. AIF also has a "-i cli" option, which gives a command-line interface, instead of the dialog-based interface. -- Chris
