I would very much appreciate any relevant URLs supporting this notion!

I did a Google search and the most on-target response for this was also one of the first hits:

I don't think there is anything to be learned from my failed experience.  This was with OX X 10.0 public beta, I think in 2001.  It might have been SpeakUp or even some other Linux screen reader.  Not only was I unable to figure out how to compile Unix apps, but I also learned then that Linux screen readers required hardware speech synthesis.  (This limitation is probably no longer true.)  I had a DecTalk Express available, but no way to connect it to a USB-only PowerMac!  (This problem has also been largely resolved at this point in time.)
