I can understand why, as a user, you feel that way. Unfortunately I am the only 
one so far as I know of, actively working on improving Ubuntu's accessibility, 
and while I do as much as I can to make things work as well as they can, I have 
other matters that I need to attend to, due to working for Canonical and being 
responsible for other parts of the desktop as well, so I can only do so much in 
the time I allocate for accessibility work.

Unfortunately the speech-dispatcher crasher is at the moment, somewhat beyond 
my current skills to debug, although learning valgrind will likely help me get 
better with sed debugging, and hopefully get rid of the speech-dispatcher crash.

So if you really want Ubuntu's accessibility to get better, I urge you to 
consider helping out in whatever way you can, even if its only filing and 
triaging bugs, thats something. The more bugs that are in a triaged state, the 
less work I have to do, and the more bugs I can attempt to fix.

I hope you all understand, and will do what you can to help.

Regards
Luke
