Yes, speakup and espeakup are available on the iso, and orca is available in gnome. I haven't used gnome myself (I mostly use the commandline via ssh) so I can't comment a whole lot about orca. We also have brltty and emacspeak available in the repository. I don't really use them personally so I haven't looked at them in some time. Please feel free to ask any questions and welcome to Gentoo. :-) William --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABECAB0WIQTVeuxEZo4uUHOkQAluVBb0MMRlOAUCXqWzNgAKCRBuVBb0MMRl OE09AJoC8mGc3nvCGRzA3f8UYB/91KdIOgCgneDoRksGSFxGmvh58VQFiY7MX5o= =5Fz/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --7JfCtLOvnd9MIVvH--
