I had heard of brltty, butt never have known what may be done with it.


Well, usually brltty is thought of as the interface between your computer and a refreshable braille display, and also allows screen readers to provide braille output via its brlapi functionality. But brltty can act as a stand-alone screen reader in text mode as well. I don't believe brlapi provides speech output, since the applications that would use that feature are probably already using speech-dispatcher directly, but brltty itself when running as a system service does in fact output to speech-dispatcher, and I believe it has keyboard shortcuts that do not require braille display input for its screen review functionality, among other screen reader functions. That said, I probably should try this myself before I just let my fingers keep running wild.
