+
+This project aims at providing a very basic screen reader usable in console mode (without a GUI) for FreeBSD.
+This is an important first step for system administrators using speech to access computers, who previously would have needed a second computer running a terminal emulator to install or configure a FreeBSD server or character-based desktop computer.
+
+The third and fourth quarters of 2022 saw basic design and some feature testing which looks promising, and a link:https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-accessibility/2022-October/000014.html[detailed call for testing with installation procedure] posted.
+
+This project needs help with the following:
+
+* Code reviewing
+* Usability testing
+* Integrating with the FreeBSD installer.
