Emacspeak, Voxin, And The Jenux Operating System

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Okay, thanks so much. One more package, have you trie BrailleBlaster? I’m hoping that could be added too, which would make Slint half way good enough for educational purposes, the other half being a good program for learning to type.
