Best Distro for Blind

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I just switched from Vinux to Slint. Slint is orders of magnitude better.
Warning, I only use console, but with slint I can switch between speakup and fenrir, and within speakup
can switch between espeak and dectalk.
>From a quick read of slint getting started docs, you should be able 
to choose between a variety of talking GUI environments, but most
of the discussion on the slint list is about Mate.
