Windows 10 was probably why you didn't get speech post-install.
Starting debian with the s boot parameter turns on speech that debian
produces for the installation then by default keeps speech turned on
post-install. Use of a console with windows 10 enabled you to get the
text over the console so I suspect you failed to enable debian speech
during installation. I hope this solves one of your problems.

Hi, The name of the iso I was using is firmware-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
and it is in the archive for the debian-installer. I ran the installation
using this image as my network cards both wired and wireless require firmware
and I also ran the installation on low priority and choose to install
everything like non-free as well as backports. For the main tasks for this
text based installation I selected just the standard system as I want this
system to be small. Everything installed just fine and I was connected to
the installation over the network as I wanted to test out the network console
using my windows 10 system and was able to follow all prompts but then once
the Debian system rebooted no internet settings were on the system in the
/etc/network/interfaces or any other wifi packages that were installed such
as wpa_supplicant. My question is why does the installer not copy over the
wireless networking settings from the installer to the target system when
doing a text only install with speech? Nick Gawronski

Could you give us the full name of the Jessie ISO?
as I am totally blind and found that the latest installer once it was
installed I had no software speech after installing the system.
It depends on how you install your system. If you install you system in
braille or in "normal" way it's the normal effect.
I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with just a text based system
mainly for a rescue system for when X windows is down and for times when I
don't wish to use X windows. I found that during the installation I was
able to connect to the internet and successfully install the system but
once the system was rebooted I had no internet access over any network
method.
As I know, It seems there is no link with accessibility in this case.
What would it take for the debian installation to copy the network
settings from the installer to the target system as it makes no sence why
networking would be setup and working during a text based installation but
not in the target system? What file should I edit to add my wireless
network as well as my wired network using DHCP so they both will work when
my text based system boots? Nick Gawronski
The tips I use is to install a new driver for your Debian system.
For doing something like that you need to follow some steps :
1) Find the model of your card and the related firmware package in Debian,
if it's a Intel Wireless card it's the package firmware-iwlwifi
<https://packages.debian.org/fr/jessie/firmware-iwlwifi>
2) Add the backports repo in your environment as explained in this page :
http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
3) Install the new package with a command like that : "apt-get install -t
jessie-backports FIRMWARE_NAME"
