I have a WIP port of brltty but little time to finish it. If someone is
willing to take over, it's in a separate git branch.
As for audio, is not as difficult as it sounds. Morse was actually a
prototype for it. We don't need full synthesis. We can prerecord common
sentences and just tell letter by letter when we don't have it
prerecorded. It's not optimal but good enough to solve most of the cases
