Simon, I use Linux for my workstation, and we also use it for our firewall machine. My screen reader is brltty. If you are a good braille reader and have a braille display, brltty is an excellent choice for a screen readder. Braille can be more accurate than speech, and even faster, under some circumstances. When I need to produce a document with a lot of formatting I use html. It is not difficult to learn, and you know just what you are telling the machine to do.
