Once you boot, at some point, there will be two beeps. If you hit Enter

The below are some clarifications for the OP.
Pressing the "s" key, regardless of the BIOs type, should select "Install
Debian With Speech".
Karen already wrote that Linux's speech synthesis doesn't work for her.
Hi Tomas,
Yes, I already knew that. Once it's installed, she can turn the sound off,
potentially.
Using "espeakup/voice=en" as a kernel boot parameter, will install the
English accessibility stack without using "Install Debian With Speech"
(non-blind way)!
In other words, one can install Debian without speech and braille
support but have speech and braille support on the installed system.
