I am making this inquiry on behalf of a partially sighted person who has recently purchased an Atari ST. What he is looking for is a Text -> Speech conversion program that would allow him to hear the contents of a text file. I know that there is a simple speech program available called ST-TALK that performs this function, but only on text typed from the keyboard. Does anybody know of a similar program that could read a file of text and then speak it back? Are there sources available for the aforementioned ST-TALK that might be modified to make it work on text files? Please reply to me by mail, unless, of course, you think it is important enough to post. Tony McGrath tony@nswitgould.OZ

There is a prograam called STSPEECH that will speak a line typed in on the keyboard or speak an already-created text file. Needless to say, it has a very strong "synthesized speech" accent but it really quite understandable. It is a public domain program. Send me e-mail if you want the details. Craig Z. at AT&T mhuxu!cbz
