Unfortunately neither speakup nor orca are available on the FreeBSD install media. Of course, once you've got the base operating system installed, orca is certainly available from ports. As far as I know, speakup hasn't been ported to FreeBSD. The standard FreeBSD install media do not come with anything much by way of accessibility features. They're all text based and pretty minimal, which doesn't give much scope for such features. Probably your best bet would be to install PC-BSD, which is based on FreeBSD, but configured as a desktop system. See http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Accessibility/9.2 for a description of the accessibility features available. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
