Re: Planning to remove screader

[Jos Lemmens <acjlemmens@gmail.com>]

Hello Mario,

I once wrote screader because there was no screen reader at that time.
At least, I didn't know any such application.
Now adays we have speechd-up and brltty. I use my own jabt for my Alva
Delphi 480. Jabt has braille and speech support.

I imagine nearly nobody use screader anymore.

So it is no problem for me when screader is removed from Debian.

   Regards,

      Jos.
