Linux for the blind?

[david at thekramers.net (David Kramer)]

I had someone who is blind ask me about speech synthesis and screen 
readers etc for Linix for blind people.  Of course I will scour the web 
and do my own research, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with 
any packages for this, or could suggest resources.

My preliminary research turned up a lot of dead projects.  That's why I'm 
asking.  Thanks.
