Alejandro Pulver 43804a60ba YASR ("Yet Another Screen Reader") is an attempt at a lightweight,
portable screen reader. It works by opening a shell in a pty and
intercepting all user input/output, maintaining a window of what
should be on the screen by looking at the codes and text sent to the
screen. It thus uses no Linuxisms such as /dev/vcsa0 and does not
necessarily need to be setuid root (the only requirement being that
the user be able to access the tts device).

==============================================================================
Yasr requires a text-to-speech engine to work. FreeBSD offers two: Festival
and FLite (Festival Lite). Edit the system configuration file
%%DATADIR%%/yasr.conf
or user configuration file ~/.yasr.conf and set "synthesizer" and
"synthesizer port".
NOTE: To use FLite requires the Emacspeak speech server eflite to be
installed.
EXAMPLES:
Festival
synthesizer=festival
sythesizer port=|%%LOCALBASE%%/bin/festival
Festival running as a server
synthesizer=festival
synthesizer port=127.0.0.1:1314
FLite
synthesizer=Emacspeak server
synthesizer port=|%%LOCALBASE%%/bin/eflite
See man page for more information.
