John,
Or it would be nice if someone could take an old notetaker, and remove the 
old motherboard, and connect the RPI in it's place, connecting the speaker 
and keyboard and then the serial to the USB ports.
That would leave a lot of room inside for extra memory, and a larger 
battery.

Somebody should make a device with a speaker, keyboard, and braille
display, and a compartment on the back for you to snap a Raspberry PI
into. You buy the keyboard thing and a RPI, open a door on the back of
the thing, connect up cables for speaker, USB keyboard, and USB braille
display, snap the RPI into place, close the door, and you've got your
braille notetaker. When your RPI gets old, you buy a new one, snap out
the old RPI, and put in the new one.

Of course, I'm anticipating the RPI supporting speakup soon. This device
I'm imagining wouldn't be much use today. Actually, why wouldn't
emacspeak work?  Emacspeak must work on the RPI, doesn't it?
