<para>Current development is focusing on visual and mobility impairments. There
are both software and hardware based solutions available. There are also both console and
graphical solutions available, however, the graphical solutions are limited at this time.

accessibility of the Gnome desktop. --></para>

<title>Hardware</title>
<para>The biggest advantage of the hardware speech solutions is that speech is
available before the operating system loads, which even makes it possible for people with
a visual impairment to install the operating system. Hardware solutions include speech
synthesizers, braille terminals, braille printers, sip and puff systems, and eye gaze
pointing devices. These devices are usually very expensive and it is difficult to find
drivers for them. Drivers are being written (mostly for speech synthesizers) for Linux but
they need to be tested and integrated by the community into "upstream" software
projects before becoming part of Fedora.</para>

<para>This document focuses mostly on software tools and utilities that work with
Linux. Most of these tools have been developed by the Open Source community and many have
not yet been tested by the Fedora Project.<!--
<application>Speakup</application>,
<application>Emacspeak</application>,
<application>Festival</application> and
<application>BRLTTY</application> have been tested by Red Hat; and
<application>Emacspeak</application> and
<application>Festival</application>, among others, ship with Fedora.-->
