Choosing a powerful Linux distribution for the blind

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/linux

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mate-optimus

    NVIDIA Optimus GPU switcher

  • speechd-el

    Emacs speech and Braille output interface

  • I think it would also be useful to mention Emacs' speechd-el (and EmacsSpeak) since you can do pretty much everything from Emacs. pdf-view-mode is compatible with OCR'd PDFs and would probably easily be put to the purpose of joining that with readers (it's also packaged as elpa-pdf-tools in Debian).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
