Hello...

[Littlefield, Tyler]

I'd suggest learning with a command line.
You can also get speechd-up, and other programs to give you software speech,
rather than using gnome.
It's accessibility is still being worked on, while the linux command line
has been used for a long time.

Thanks,
~~TheCreator~~
