[net.micro.mac] mac programs for blind people

keithr@tekecs.UUCP (Keith Rowell) (09/18/86)

I have a blind friend who will soon have a mac available to him.
I would greatly appreciate any information or leads of any kind about
programs that would help blind folks use a mac.  My friend is 
especially interested in a program that would accept ASCII text and
output recognizable speech in English.  He is thinking of a
translation on the fly of text coming into the mac via a modem program.
Does anything like this exist?

I thank you very much in advance for any info or leads.  I will summarize
to the net if I get sufficient response. Thanks again.
