Vojtch Polaek has announcedan unofficial effort to create a Fedora-based distribution designedfor visually impaired users:

My ultimate vision for this project is "NO VOJTUX NEEDED!" becauseI believe Fedora should eventually be fully accessible out of thebox. We aren't there yet, which is where Vojtux comes in to fill thegap. [...]

Key Features:
-Speaks out of the box: When the live desktop is ready, Orca startsautomatically. After installation, it is configured so that it startson the login screen and also after logging in.
-Batteries included: Comes with LIOS , Ocrdesktop, Tesseract,Audacity, and command-line tools like Git and Curl. There are alsomany preconfigured keyboard shortcuts.

See the repositoryfor instructions on getting the image.
