BTSpeak really is a pretty cool device.
-
@NicksWorld @pixelate @ner Those are wholly written from scratch software-wise, plus the quality. I mean, I don't know about Sense Player, but Victor Reader Stream, at least the second one, was rock solid and you didn't have to use something as flaky and unreliable as Linux Desktop.
-
@pixelate @ner @NicksWorld Okay, a hundred bucks, let it be. given their name and fame, they are selling them like hot pies, so no point to overprice ten times. Of course, there is some time for software development, but still, not a $1000 device.
@menelion @NicksWorld @ner I'd buy it for $300 tops. The BT Braille I'd buy for $800 with Orbit Braille tech.

@NicksWorld @ner @menelion Oh yeah it's works on iPhones.
-
@NicksWorld @ner @menelion Alienware never released there's but it would have had an Intel processor and so could run Windows. So it would have talked even better than the BT Seak lol.
@pixelate @NicksWorld @ner Also, to be honest, for me BtSpeak is a psychological thing. I deeply respect David Goldfield, he's the man. But how they advertized it on Jonathan's podcast, like: "Windows is dying, nobody needs it, see, in Linux I can do everything, even H and Shift+H in the browser!!". Like it's the only thing I need from a browser, huh?

@menelion @ner @NicksWorld Goodness. Windows, dying? No it is not. You know what I need from a browser? Speed and consistency. And Orca doesn't even have sounds for focus and browse mode yet. So like you could be typing into a field and then zoom now you're somewhere else cause the page reloaded and browse mode is on. Oh also they're on Debian stable so no Orca 50 for like a year after it comes out.

@baxaphobia @pixelate @menelion @ner If I'm right, you have one? Okay, that's good to know. I really like the idea of a mantis.

@NicksWorld @pixelate @ner It's not about advanced stuff, it's about flaky accessibility and unreliable audio system and desktop environment in Linux.

@NicksWorld @pixelate @ner I know how to program stuff, and I won't use Linux Desktop in a foreseeable future.

@menelion @ner @NicksWorld There's just too much to do for one or even two people, even with vibe coding.
