     I have been using a program called phonetalk for  about a month, 
and find it to be a very handy program. It works great with my artic 
vision software, and was written with the blind user in mind.   So I 
thought  other  users  might like  to hear about this great program. 
Listed below is the introduction from the documentation.

                       INTRODUCTION TO PHONETALK 1.5

           What is PHONETALK?  PHONETALK is a program for storing and 
dialing telephone numbers.  It does this by using the dialing feature 
that your modem already has.

           PHONETALK is written to work with speech  synthesizers, so 
there are not the usual conflicts that arise with other programs writ 
ten to use the screen.  If you use a speech synthesizer, I believe you 
will find PHONETALK to be the best and most convenient telephone book 
program now available.

           PHONETALK speaks all necessary information, without screen 
navigation, so the user knows exactly where he is, and what PHONETALK 
is doing at that moment.   This  is accomplished by using PHONETALK's 
complete  and  convenient  set  of commands. PHONETALK works with DOS 
versions 3.0 AND HIGHER.
