Coqui TTS has blew my mind!

[Linux for blind general discussion]

We are Talking about Linux, the ability of both command line users and gui 
ones  to  use the system equally.
Lynx is not the only command line browser,  both Links as in chain, and 
e-links which should be getting update attention provide choices.
That being said, not sure what world you speak of, as  more than a few 
computer magazines speak highly of turning off JavaScript, and the New 
York Times recommends Lynx for individuals who cannot afford, or wish to 
reduce their  data and graphics usage.
I can respect  your choice to decide a tool does not work for you, but do 
not project your choices on to others.
