Description: General-purpose console screen reader
Yasr is a general-purpose console screen reader for GNU/Linux and
other Unix-like operating systems. The name "yasr" is an acronym that
can stand for either "Yet Another Screen Reader" or "Your All-purpose
Screen Reader".
.
Currently, yasr attempts to support the Speak-out, DEC-talk, BNS, Apollo,
and DoubleTalk synthesizers. It is also able to communicate with
Emacspeak servers and can thus be used with synthesizers not directly
supported, such as Festival Lite (via eflite) or FreeTTS.
.
Yasr is written in C and works by opening a pseudo-terminal and running a
shell, intercepting all input and output. It looks at the escape
sequences being sent and maintains a virtual "window" containing what
it believes to be on the screen. It thus does not use any features
specific to Linux and can be ported to other Unix-like operating
systems without too much trouble.
