I have a girlfriend who is a keyboardist and has an apple IIGS just laying around.. I was wondering what kind of HARDWARE and SOFTWARE their is out their and also looking for suggestions for some MIDI applications. The thing is that she is BLIND and will need software that is 'keyboard' friendly. As she cant use a mouse etc.. But she has a device that makes the screen convert into speech output.. so if you have any ideas please MAIL THEM to me!! Don Hoover cl225115@ulkyvx.BITNET

Don, if you need a "talking" version of shrinkit, try to get ahold of Auto-UnShrinkIt. If you have a Street Electronics Echo II speech board, and the Text-Talker software which comes with it, "Auto" will speak exactly what it's doing. (ie, "Extracting... this file, extracting that file") I only wrote Auto-UnShrinkIt originally for a blind fellow on GEnie, but I got a big kick out of having the Echo board speak everything as it was extracting stuff from the archives. >Don Hoover andy -- Andy Nicholas GEnie & America-Online: shrinkit Apple Computer, Inc.
