Re: HELP: Editor for Blind People

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings Antonio,

Every necessity which you presented is easily answered with emacspeak,
the aural interface to emacs. There is plenty of online documentation
for using emacs/emacspeak, but it is true that setting up emacspeak
can be tricky. If you are using ubuntu or, I believe, some other linux
distributions, the installation of emacspeak and orca are easily
automated with a couple of softwares which you may urchase for a very
small fee at http://oralux.org/.

I hope this helps.
