This is really an important point, something I always wanted to see
tackled. A standard Debian Linux desktop should have a very simple,
possibly just via a key combination, way to enable at least speech.
While I think some people here might already know it, I have to bring up
the example: Apple implements this since a few years already. No matter
if it is iOS or Mac OS X, hand me an iPhone/iPad or a machine with
relatively recent Mac OS X, and I can start working with it without
needing sighted assistance, and without needing to install any
additional package (read, needs no network connection). It is sort of a shame that Linux does not
do something similar.
