Hi all, I'm looking for a program that might help me on a project. A friend at my wifes work is a big amiga fan (had an A1000 for 5 years) but is blind. In order to better utilize his amiga, he needs audio i/o from it. He wants to have key presses said and output read from various screens. I've written an input handler which can satisfy the first part. But the rest is a big bill for me. I picture being able to swap screens/windows from the keyboard and having the narrator announce the new screen/window name. Then, anything going to that window (text) should be said through the narrator. He has also (on IBM clones) used a sort of virtual cursor which he can move back over the window and have portions of the screen re-read. He is a programmer so once the basics are done, he could continue to develop/customize it himself. Anybody have any clues? Is there anything like this around? Any code samples would be great if nothing exists already. What do you say Commodore, is this a unique use for an amiga? This is a non-profit project. We'd like to release it to the world as PD or whatever if it ever gets done. Brian. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Gragg briang@sdd.hp.com hp-sdd!briang uunet!ucsd!hp-sdd!briang -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
