kde-accessibility Digest, Vol 161, Issue 3

[Iain McGinn]

Hi Daniel

I don't use Braille but have visual problems
The only really useful options I've found are browser extensions

Speechnotes works in most browsers
Upgrade only works Chrome and Chromium. It's well worth a few quid extra.

TTS is Chrome only. Free and very good.

If this works for you via keyboard shortcuts or other methods then

KDENeon is a bare bones distro ranked 19 in Distrowatch
https://distrowatch.com/kdeneon

Kubuntu has a full software suite installed and 9/10 user rating.
https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=kubuntu

Both built on Ubuntu

Good luck

Iain
