[NFBCS] Linux Screen Readers

[Bryan Duarte]

> 	This email is primarily directed to those who are Linux users who rely on a screen reader. Although I have been using Linux for years, I have really only done so through the command line via remote connection. I know there are different screen readers such as Orca or speakup however, Orca needs to be updated in how it functions, and SpeakUp only works in the command line which does not help much when I already have access to the command line.

> My question is this… What screen readers are you all using to access the full Desktop Linux operating systems? My second question is, why hasn’t there been any work in developing a newer and better performing screen reader for the Linux desktop environment? I feel like it has to do with the fact that it would need to be maintained independently and there are not many people who care enough in the Linux developers network to take that on… Either way I hope someone here has some good news for me. Thanks ya'll
