ubuntu linux

[Karen Lewellen]

Hello again,
I did not wish to suggest that I sought a comparison with speakup.  Since 
it will no longer be supported, then the comparison is better with the 
other offerings, what one can or cannot access fully, what hardware 
synthesizers are supported, etc.
I have never cared for jaws, nor been a windows user, so the reference 
to jfw only makes me worried  smiles.
Is there therefore then a comparison of the other screen readers you 
referenced, skipping speakup altogether, so that one can make an informed 
decision?
