what wouldbe the most blind friendly distribution of linux

[Krishnakant Mane]

Also Note that the inflection (pitch range ) in espeak can be improved 
by changing parameters in the /usr/share/espeak-voices/en/en or any 
respective language.
This makes espeak sound a bit more narrative and less monotonous.

Happy hacking.
