[BRLTTY] Screen reader for mac

[james collins]

Hello,
I own a MacBook pro laptop, currently running mac os x 10.5.7 I might  
update to 10.5.8 today. I was just wondering if brltty would be  
compatible with my mac? Would I run into any problems with installing  
brltty on my mac? I primarily want the screen reader to run at the  
command line, I have a program  called terminal on my mac it allows me  
to run an unix shell. I own a doubletalk speech synthesizer and I just  
bought a USB to serial adaptor cable. Btw I know about VoiceOver, but  
I don't want to use it. I have yasr running on my laptop, and I was  
able to get it working with freetts using a software based speech  
synthesizer, I had sent my doubletalk synthesizer in to rc systems Inc  
to get tested. They told me the doubletalk was working correctly, but  
when I tried to use yasr my screen reader I ran into problems. Yasr  
worked well with freetts but I couldn't get the doubletalk to work  
with yasr, sometimes I would get a prompt with yasr and I couldn't  
type at the terminal. Other times I could type but like I would type  
ls and I would get have a directory listing and yasr would get stuck.  
And at no time was I able to get speech out of my doubletalk speech  
synthesizer. Any help would be appreciated.
