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.

@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.

@menelion @pixelate @ner Okay, I'd buy the 3rd edition if I could touch the damn thing.

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@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.

[menelion@dragonscave.space]

@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?

@pixelate @menelion @ner I bought the orbit writer. I like having it because of the input system.

[menelion@dragonscave.space]

@pixelate @NicksWorld @ner Absolutely!

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@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.

@pixelate @menelion @ner Windows is my main driver for a reason and its because it works. Linux is for a specific kind of person, one who knows advanced computer stuff.

@NicksWorld @pixelate @menelion @ner The mantis does work with an Iphone.

[nicksworld@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@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.

[menelion@dragonscave.space]

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

[nicksworld@mastodon.stickbear.me]

@menelion @pixelate @ner All I know is that linux is for people who know how to program stuff.

[menelion@dragonscave.space]

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

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

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