I firmly believe #GNOME should add a dictation (speech-to-text) and reader (text-to-speech) capabilities.

If you have some kind of hearing loss, you just go for macOS or Windows.

And it's not that you need to reinvent the wheel. You can load local models that run locally.

Do you mean vision loss? If you have hearing loss, I'm not sure how much text to speech is going to help.

Linux already has a screen reader (orca), but according to three blind people that I've heard from, it is inferior to both NVDA (Windows) and the built-in one on macOS.

I have a hard time using any of the screen readers myself. It is most definately a skill!
