a very challenging question?

Hi!
I don't know if brltty would help you out?
I am only using it on linux so can't say.

There are undoubtedly things that are printed to the console that YASR's subshell approach can't see, especially things like i/o errors and such. Additionally, I'm not aware of any BSD iso that has any screen reader available on the image, so it would need to be built from source. Then after that, the screen reader can't be used until after login, which means that login is performed with no speech, and then the screen reader needs to be spawned manually. Because it runs as a subshell or modified shell, as far as I'm aware, it probably couldn't be started from within the shell profile or anything similar to it, as it would run an infinite amount of copies of itself as it adds new instances of YASR for every subshell process it spawns.

Black, (gotta love that Scottish voice <smiles>), I don't think I want to use either of those. On the other hand, I find I can listen to Espeak without any trouble, so if Espeak is available, I can use that, as long as there is a screen reader that supports it. In any case, I would really like to see a screen reader available for *BSD that could run as a system daemon, support software speech via Espeak or Festival/Flite with a good voice, and speak at least the login screen and the primary shell, rather than having to run as a subshell under the primary shell.
