The accessible_output library

Introduction

Accessible Output provides a standard way for developers to output text in either speech or braille using a preinstalled screen reader. Using accessible_output makes creating self-voicing applications extremely easy.

Basic Usage

s = speech.Speaker() #Will load the default speaker.
s.output("The message to speak")
