There is a program called "outspoken" which is a screen reader for the
mac. It is available from Berkley Systems in California. I don't have
the address but if you want, I can try to get it for you. I've seen the
program. It's quite good. It allows full screen access for most
applications and it would be able to read text files.
It's not cheap--it costs $395. But so far it's the only program I know
of for the mac that would allow access to the screen.

I have Macintalk V1.1, it's not back you save a document in "text to
speak" and then exicute a command to "hear" the text. I like it better
than hypercard versions cause hypercard uses 1 meg of ram on it's own,
so you "crash alot. It's sharewhear so if you want I'll send a disk
