For a braille screen reader, all the defaults tend to be all you need. The 
exception to this is spcifying the braille device if it's Bluetooth or serial 
since the default braille device is USB autodetection.

We can't tell you what you should set the speech driver to. That depends 
entirely on which one you'd prefer to use.

Are you, then, wanting to use brltty as a speech screen reader?

:-) It's not competition when more than one user is wanting to achieve a 
similar goal. In fact, combining efforts is often the most efficient way to go.

The truth is that all of us have our hands full. Not only with brltty, by the 
way. Some of us have families, some of us play in orchestras, some of us are 
dating, some of us have jobs that earn our income, some of us allocate time to 
religious involvement, etc. We all have full lives.
