Accessibility of installing Distros?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

The issue is that it's already on a desktop, usually Mate.

If I install it again, I'm installing it console only, and then building 
it as I see fit, which would be with ratpoison only.

Will probably go to Arch directly anyway. Why get something that, firstly 
speaks with a Screen reader I never bothered to learn, since Speakup works 
well enough for my needs, secondly speaks so darn fast no human can 
understand the thing, especially if, like me you can hardly hear anything 
anymore anyway?

I can build my system in vanilla Arch as well as with anything else. I, 
for example wouldn't install Firefox at all, but probably one of the 
Chromium based browsers plus elinks for when I'm beeing lazy and want to 
stay on a console.

Warm regards,
