FYI - Command Line Programs for the Blind

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Thank you Karen, Kyle, and the person who is deaf/blind, which had no name at 
an end of comments. Anyway, thank all of you for wonderful explainers on these 
conceppts. And no, Kyle, I didn't think you were swinging. And speaking of 
audio, I just got a newer laptop, which came with windows11pro, which we 
nuked-and-installed Debian SID. An installer has espeak guiding us, but once we 
need to reboot for changes to take affect, no more speech or sound. At times 1 
time a boot will have speech, but a majority of boots will not have any sound. 
How mysterious. Thanks in advance for any suggestions-and-please feel free in 
creating a new subject-line if you like as to not confuse others following this 
one.
