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. Sponsor: NVIDIA Networking (for the kernel development part)
