Let me know what > you think. As I understand virtuals, if we set up virtual/speech, it would mean that any package that provides this virtual would have to be a drop-in replacement for any other package that provides it. If anyone else in accessibility knows differently, please correct me. I don't believe the speech synthesizers we have are compatible that way, so I do not think a virtual would work for them. Decided it wasn't a good idea afterall given the circumstances of the packages being able to exist together, INVALID. |
