  • what would be a good reader for a blind user of linux?

    From hurst@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 25 16:53:01 2022
    So I'm wondering what would be a good newsreader for a blind user. I'm currently using betterbird for text posts as well as tin. I would like a
    more gui experience but pan and Sylthfeed will not allow Orca to read
    the message window. I can list and post with Sylthfeed and pan but just
    not read. Any advice would be great. And I would kind of like a more
    dedicated newsgroup client.

    Brian Gaff is a blind user in the UK technical groups, he's quite
    clued up. I'll crosspost this to uk.tech.broadcast; I saw him in
    there a couple of days ago. I'll add "Ping Brian Gaff" to the
    Subject line. HTH

    I've never used Linux, so do not know how the awker screenreader performs
    with different software.
