Question for #blind #linux users. Is there a way to make the TTY login screen acessible via text to speech somehow? I think I can get Orca running once I log in but it's hard to know when I can enter my login creds and if it succeeded. 🥲

@mauve I helped someone set this up a while back, so there might be better ways now: speakup and espeakup as a system service let it run pre-login.

@kstrlworks This seems like exactly what I need, thank you. Sadly just installing espeakup didn't work. Seems I might be missing the speakup kernel module. Any clue where people go to debug this?
