   *sigh* submitted an issue asking for some accessibility work to be done to a software package and the response was "there's no audience for this, someone who actually uses a screen reader should submit this request". I am definitely not the person to reply to this and have no idea how to do so in a reasonable manner.

     Related: I'm trying, once again, to get speakup working on Linux. However, I can find no documentation or useful information anywhere on how this is supposed to work if your distro doesn't come with it pre-configured. I think I have the kernel module loaded, and I think I have the default output set to espeakup, but I never can get it to talk. Suggestions welcome.

     @sam no idea what would work, you might try, "This is incorrectly coded, it's a bug. I'm not sure why you would bother a screen reader user with reproducing an obvious error in the code."
