Is there an easy way to have Ubuntu Linux to read a text file to me?
For example, let's say I have a file, /tmp/test_type; and in that file I have, Hello, world. What is the easiest way to have Ubuntu read that file -- or any file to me -- when my sight is failing?

The Ubuntu Wiki has a pretty good article going over several options. Ubuntu has a built-in screen reader called Orca which you can use if you're using a graphical interface.
espeak may be pre-installed or, failing that, you can install it with sudo apt install espeak, after which you can use espeak -f /tmp/test_type.
