speechd-el
speechd-el is an Emacs client to Speech Dispatcher, BrlTTY, and other alternative output devices. It provides a complex speech/Braille interface to Emacs, and is focused especially on (but not limited to) blind and visually impaired users. It allows the user to work with Emacs without looking on the screen, using the speech and Braille output.
