Hi,

I am not a developer and I admit that I'm not sure what you're talking 
about, but I know that FreeBSD has a Linux compatibility mode which will 
run most Linux apps.  I think brltty runs on FreeBSD but I don't use it 
and I could be wrong.  I think I remember YASR running under BSD but I 
never tried it.  The only way I accessed a FreeBSD system was with ssh.  
I never tried speech on that machine because it had no obvious 
accessibility support.
