Larry,
There are no screenreaders for x-window. It is a purely graphical
environment. However, the Gnome project is developing Gnopernicus, which
is a screen reader giving both Braille and speech access. Gnome is built
on top of x-window.
I am using Linux exclusively in my work. The only adaptive technology I
use is a Braille display and the BRLTTY screenreader.
