From looking at=C2=A0 https://list= s.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo=C2=A0it seems there are a few ge= neral accessibility mailing lists targeted at linux users, but if you mean = something more generic than that there are probably some elsewhere also.

Hi Bob,
I have similar issues as you, my suggestion is to use Jovie it has tray icon=C2=A0 with menus and you can and should setup keyboard shortcuts.
Then even when in browsers you just do a Select text,Ctrl+C=C2=A0 and then =
press my Speeck clipboard button.

About browser extensions, browsers have the ability to speak text
without an internet connection , the issue I had was making the browser connect/detect my espeak so there should be extensions that do not
connect to Google, I personalty prefer=C2=A0 to keep the number of extensio= ns
to minimum and I send everything trough Jovie.=C2=A0 What an extension coul= d
do is for example when you want to read a reddit thread to remove all
the "reply,report,save" text after each comment , it did not both= er me
enough to do it so far.

A bit offtopic, is there a community place where we could discuss this
kind of project that are related with TTS but not KDE specific?
We could share our setup , tricks, scripts we use , for example I
patched Open Morowind to have it=C2=A0 read the dialogs and books, I made a=
script for RPG Maker games that run in browser to read the text to me
I have a script that can try to OCR text from other games but all this
are hacks/not polished and are not for general use. This days I am
thinking if I could somehow inject something into DirectX games and
intercept the text drawing code and have it it sent to=C2=A0 a script to be= read.
