Hi,
While I deeply appreciate both of our input, a couple of factors that
impact my situation.
First, I referenced shellworld, a shell service to which I subscribe,
because I personally cannot run Linux.
There is no current Linux distribution with a screen reading program that
can talk to my reading edge, which serves as my speech synthesizer.
Second, because this is a service, I have no control over what edition of
YouTube dl is run by the administrator. I can tell you shellworld is not
a graphical desktop, meaning Lynx, or at most links which can incorporate
some java is used.
Again your expertise is, as always, appreciated...but unless you can match
my environment some mileage factors vary a great great deal.
That reminds me to start a thread asking why graphical Linux desktops
cannot speak to hardware serial ports. I imagine other things are
involved , but I do wonder.
Cheers,
Karen

Previously I could from shellworld use YouTube dL, I believe we have a
second option too, convert the video to either mp3 or m4a, and get the
audio that way.

Well youtube-dl still works fine whenever I use it, so that should still

youtube-dl -f 140 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0jECuwrn_U
And, if your instance of yt-dl is out-of-date and poutube serves you some
errors,
"youtube-dl -U"
will update your instance for you. Here's a brief description from
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#options
--- begin documentation quote ---
-U or --update
Updates the youtube-dl program to its latest version. Make sure that you have
sufficient permissions (run with sudo if needed).

Are you sure you don't want to hear the Reading Edge rap? :)
