Emacspeak works well for me. If you're running it in a graphical desktop session, you should probably turn off Orca's speech while doing so. I run it in a console in order to get braille support as well.
Speakup seems problematic on the RPI, and I haven't heard of a way to get Fenrir on Raspbian.
I suppose you could consider a different distribution, if that's the issue.
I tried Stormux, but it did not seem to work at all on the zero.
I don't want to go out and read about eMacSpeak, I just want to hear from some of you.
For example, is it a CLI program, or does it require a desktop?
It's an extension to Emacs that provides its own spoken interface. That's why turning off Orca (if in a graphical session) would be a good idea.
Does it take a lot of RAM?
No.
The RPI zero only has 512 MB of RAM.
I have loaded up the desktop and installed Orca, but that runs pretty slow.
I'm just looking for a good CLI experience, and I don't know anything about eMacSpeak.
Emacspeak belongs to the category of truly great software, in my opinion. Learning Emacs is of course essential, if you aren't already familiar with it.
