I used the Ubuntu installer and performed your steps. I've tested it on two 
machines with the same results: Neither speech nor braille are their. I've 
thought about hardware problems too, but I have different sound cards on my 
machines, so which requirements should be their to make the installer run?
On both machines everything works as it should when booting into live mode, 
so I'm confused why the installer isn't usable at all.
Note: I've tested Wubi too, and this seems to be an alternative, provided 
you don't want to set up Linux in an originary partition. Wubi seems to be 
fairly accessible.
One question: Can I use the image file on a FAT32 drive? I think no, 
because the images need at least 4 GB, and FAT32 file systems are limited 
to write files not more than 2 GB. However: What happens if one has no NTFS 
partition or doesn't want to use it, because it is the Windows boot 
partition?
