I posted this in a thread about autistic children where I fear it may very well become lost in the information traffic. My hope is that here, in the event that someone happens to wander in and read it, it will be more likely be responded to.
My beloved autistic daughter faithfully studies the news on the Internet. Since she cannot read she has been using Windows, a Google search engine, and DragonDictate so that she can find articles of interest which are then, by DragonDictate, read out loud to her.
Unfortunately she is not very discriminating about what pop-up program she downloads and so cleaning crud out of her computer is a constant problem. A friend of mine took Windows out of her computer and installed a form of Lennix. I am now desperately trying to find a screen to speech program that will work with Lennix. Apparently DragonDictate will not work with Lennix. I have attempted to use Gespeaker with her Kumbutu but, so far, have had no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated
