[Athen] Screen reader and Eee PC?

[Pielaet, Jon]

Darren,

 

Orca (a Linux-based screen reader) should run on an older EEE PC just
fine. What version of Linux is it? I may be able to help you install it.

Subject: [Athen] Screen reader and Eee PC?

 

I am working with someone who is blind that is in need of a low/no cost
screen reader for her PC.  It turns out she has been given a Eee PC.  I
am perfectly unfamiliar with this puppy.  It is apparently a Linux based
laptop.  It is running an Intel R Mobile Processor, 1GB RAM, 4GB Hard
Drive, and runs some kind of word processing programs called Star Office
8 and Ez PenPower Jr.  Seems to use Firefox for a browser.

 

Anyway, I need some suggestions here on providing screen reader
capabilities.  Thanks in advance...

 

Darren
