Increasing use of Emacs among the blind

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi everyone,

We have started a project to develop and bring together a variety of 
BASH scripts to automate as much as possible, the installation and setup 
of an Arch distro containing some form of Emacs and eventually GUI 
environments for occasional use.

We want to make it easier and more intuitive for beginners, so we are 
considering going with Spacemacs instead of Emacs. The main point is to 
make it easier for non-technical people like myself, to be able to 
install and use Spacemacs most of the time, and only use GUI tools as an 
exception in their daily routine. The idea is that even non-technical 
blind persons deserve to be efficient.

If you are interested in learning some more, here is our intro page:

I hope that those interested will join our list. It is very low traffic.

I would like to ask if anybody on this list has had the opportunity to 
try using SpeechD-el on Spacemacs. Any guidance or suggestions are most 
welcome.

Best regards,

Fernando
