If there is then it's well hidden. Web searches of "linux for blind" reveal pages that are approx. 10 years old as first hits, at least in my language space.

My result to go further with the 10y old information failed. Some tools like brltty can be found and it's still in activ development, others like festival or txt2pho with MBROLA or Aranea seem to be discontinued.

I think the best way to find a tool for the blind is to ask the blind community.
