Chime,
another example of deciding something is not possible.
Instead  of asking NvDA a windows product based on  python to write  stuff 
for Linux, why not ask the python blindness developers group to do this?
and how do I, not using Linux at all, know about this group?
I went hunting for it, when someone I knew wanted a teacher.  Took me less 
than  5 minutes.
one of the Python projects specifically matches coders with unique 
projects...so, this might be interesting enough, especially given how 
quality speech is becoming so important to the general population. 
Search for the term hearables as an example.
asking a company focused on one system to write for another and being 
refused does not mean  that input is unwelcome, for their target audience.
Does that resonate?
Kare
