Just out of curiosity - are you thinking of admin style use on the command line, or workstation style use, involving possibly applications user interfaces beyond the command line?

Both of these are UNIX operating systems, so you will need to find a screen reader that works in UNIX. Unfortunately, that is probably outside of most of our experiences.

One suggestion you might try is contacting HP and IBM. There is likely to be some people at both businesses that might have some ideas of options that would work in UNIX--i9f there are any.

Another option is to use a terminal emulator to access the HP UX and IBM AIX systems. Basically, you use the terminal emulator to access these systems from a desktop or laptop computer. What this would allow you to do is to use a Windows, oSX, or Linux system with the appropriate screen reader for that operating system to access the HP and IBM systems. It should be possible to interact with the command line interface.

Thanks,
Tim

For a GUI-working screen reader, your option is Orca with Gnome.
That means you'll need to install Gnome, though Unity 2d sorta
kinda works. There are Orca users on Ubuntu (Ubuntu-mate), Vinux
of course, Fedora, Arch, and Debian (but it's generally recommended
if you need Debian to use the unstable).

You might want the latest Orca from master on github rather than
whatever comes with package management, depending on how long
your *nix cycle runs. Debian for example is quite old.
Otherwise: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca/DownloadInstall

There is an orca mailing list you can puruse to get caught up
on current issues/problems/fixes.


In the terminal you should have espeak and speakup, but it has
to be set up. StormDragon has a post
http://stormdragon.us/tag/espeakup/

It does sound terrible, so if you're used to nice voices you'll
notice you'll need them slower for this. I've heard of people
getting festival or other voices installed but didn't follow
how one does this.

Hope this helps,
_mallory

Er, so for terminal on hup-ux/aix, looks like you get the kernel's
speakup program.
