The disk during the install process talked and all instructions were followed as written in the arch wiki for the arch linux for the blind section but I didn't get a talking install once done. What has me puzzled about the architecture of archlinux is the use of /mnt where files get placed, yet mirror directories like /etc exist outside of /mnt. I went so far as to make braille notes of the extra commands needed before running the reboot command so have them down on paper.
