2654	Accessibility for blind users	alexander@…	blfs-book@…	"On the livecd list, a user said that accessibility is important for him: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/livecd/2008-November/005290.html

On the LiveCD, accessibility is provided by the following packages: brltty (reflects the Linux console on Braille devices, testable with a fake Braille device in QEMU), speakup (kernel patch that reads the console), speechd-up (feeds text from speakup to speech-dispatcher), speech-dispatcher (accepts speech requests and converts them to a form understandable by different synthesizers), and espeak (the lightweight multilingval software speech synthesizer). However, none of these packages are currently in BLFS, and it became a policy for the new LiveCD to reject packages beyond BLFS. So, in order to have accessibility on the LiveCD, it first has to be added to BLFS.

And by ""added"", I mean that at least one other editor receives the knowledge sufficient to maintain this stuff, and that someone indeed wants to maintain it."	enhancement	closed	normal	x-future	BOOK	SVN	medium	invalid
