I have heard that some people with a hearing loss prefer the Braille & Speak
for their computer's synth.

All synthethic speech is subject to individual taste.

For instance, contrary to your opinion, I find Dubltalk the most useful
speech I've ever found for fast and clear reading.  I use it over any and
all other speech, including Dec talk in any version.

There is not one rightspeech package for blind folks.  It's subject to
individual taste and one's actual practices, as for instance in my case
reading fast and understanding everything.
