Greetings All;

Without any conscious prompting by me, te debian 11.1 netinstall for x86-64 
systems installed and setup whatever was needed to bring the screen reader 
to life.

Any thing related to a braile function that I try to remove wants to kill 
another 2 or 3 gigs of system with it.

Quite distracting to a sighted user when that robotic voice, speaking a very 
broken bandwidth of what might be english, blaring out of ones speakers 20 
db louder than firefoxes audio can I am sure, find a way to silence this w/o 
destroying the rest of the system. Removing orca will shut it up, but that 
leaves brltty spamming the daemon.log complaining about a missing library 
every 5 seconds.  And that's close to 40 megabytes a week.

So, how does one shut up this useless to me, screen-reader and kill the log 
spamming at the same time?

I think its great that folks have gone to that effort for the sightless, but 
why is that sort of stuff always made mandatory.

I'd sure appreciate any help cleaning it out 

Thanks everybody.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
