interacting with the cursor:

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.
Gnopernicus behaves the same as my text console screen readers.  It
doesn't have the review features of a console screen reader, but it
does speak chars as the cursor moves to them.  This is using gedit.  I
don't know of another accessible editor in Gnome at this time.
