Emacspeak, Voxin, And The Jenux Operating System

I’m using Slint on bare metal. The sound issue I’ve found is that with eSpeak, speech is not stopped instantly when interrupted with either new speech or the control key, and sound effects, if played quickly, do not play one at a time. Also, the Mate desktop seems to be rather slow, like after launching a program that requires my password to run, Orca freezes.
Will packages like OcrDesktop, a program for using OCR text recognition on applications which aren’t accessible, be added? Will BRLTTY be updated to the latest version? The current version does not work with my Braille Note Touch.

Also, if you’d like to join a lot of other Linux users in discussion, the
irc.talkabout.cf
Network is a great place for more realtime discussion.
