However, a quick read of the said website sort of answers my question as it hasn't really been tested outside of Debian/Ubuntu.

Thanks for any information that can be provided on the subject. Hi James, I think voxin is viavoice right? If so I have no experience with it at all. The disadvantage there is it hasn't been updated in years and you'll have to install old glibc compatibility packages, etc. If you do decide to do that, I am curious how it will go. - -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead williamh@gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkogOf4ACgkQblQW9DDEZThqjwCgiTe6g0YkKr4rIO3jk2MGABN7 m5YAnjXL04xf09FA8gJ0uSXRTeoVTWn7 =7l35 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
