Linux Screen Reader (LSR) project is an open source effort to
develop an extensible assistive technology for the GNOME desktop
environment. The goal of the project is to create a reusable
development platform for building alternative and supplemental
user interfaces in support of people with diverse disabilities.
* What's changed ?  For users  * LSR now supports Braille output
using the current development snapshot of   BrlAPI 0.5.0. Basic

caret rendering, and   dead Braille cell skipping. Thanks to
Scott Haeger for his hard work in   adding initial Braille
support. * Screen ma
