A good point. I don't think BRLTTY should venture too far into the "speech
only screen reader" territory, as there are other projects already doing that
much more effectively: SpeakUp, Yasr, LSR, Orca, etc. Emacspeak is also an
excellent speech environment, written by one of the few experts in
speech-based user interface design.
