blind people have been using emacspeak for several years, that has a 
learning curve but accessibility problems are missing since the author 
of the environment is blind as well and works at the googleplex.  
Messing around with libreoffice until there's enough accessibility 
customization included in the system is unlikely to be a reliable 
productivity tool.  Latest version of emacspeak is 37.00.  Latest 
version of libreoffice is 4, go figure and guess which package has had 
more developer support working on it.  If you guess emacspeak, you're 
wrong.
