Aural CSS


Hi!

I am thinking about introducing aural CSS at the Debian website. Now  
as far as I know, only EmacsSpeak does support aural CSS.

Do you think, it would make sense to support aural CSS?
Would anybody like to volunteer testing the pages with aural CSS?

Jutta

Ah, okay. Then let me give some examples, how aural CSS tells the  
reader how to speak something:

We have Acronyms and abbreviations in the page text. With aural CSS,  
it can be deined, if Those are spelled out or spoken like a word. A  
DAM (Debian Accounts Manager) would be spoken as a word normally  
while "HTML" is spelled out.

There also can be added pauses and different voices and loudness can  
be applied.

And you are really right here: If aural CSS gets used by web sites  
and people write articles about that, there is a better chance that  
browser and screen reader programmers implement it well.

greetings

Jutta

boot.img is for booting first ; then you need root.img (it is prompted
for after the kernel has booted) ; then when the installer starts, it
prompts you for a driver floppy: either cd-drivers.img if you will
install sarge through cds, or net-drivers.img if you will install sarge
through network.

Regards,
Samuel

Tanks for this information.

Just a question what is the reason for having Images for floppies in
stead put the installer on the official CD?
It the Installer still a beta version?

It would be nice if accessibility comes to main stream.

Best regards

I believe this sort of functionality is at least implemented
in the JAWS screen reader for MS Windows.  At least I remember
them being proud about the ability of the user to choose behaviour
for abbrev (or was that acronym?) tags, if they are used.  I
somehow fail to see how aural CSS is used here, isnt abbrev (or
acronym, to lazy to look up) just a html 4.0 tag?

>From what I remember, you can already define abbrev speaking behaviour
in JAWS, I'll have an opportunity to check that out in a few days
and will do so and report back.  I wonder if they use aCSS.

Debian Sarge and Gnopernicus

Hello,

On http://www.baum.ro/site-new/eng/products/gnopernicus/install.html I
have read some Information that on some Distributions Gnopernicus is
already pre-installed. This seems to include Debian.
Can someone conform this for Debian Sarge.

Is this Pre-installation ready to use with speech and an Alva
Satellite Pro braille display? Do I need an extern Synthesizer or is
there a TTS pre-installed, too?

On with CD Image is Cnopernicus and Gnome?  I don't want to
download all 14 of them.

Thanks
Petra

See .jigdo files on
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/jigdo-cd

Gnopernicus is on the 4th cd.

Note that you can also install debian via network, in which case only
necessary packages will be downloaded.

Regards,
Samuel
