Hi Jim,
     I missed the original message of this thread, but wanted to comment 
since I am very involved with the Amiga.
     First, I am so involved for one reason because I produce a screen 
reading package for the Amiga called Ami-Talk (free demo available upon 
request) which allows a blind person to use almost any piece of 
off-the-shelf software.  In my opinion having the "say" command is of 
little use to a blind person since one it can only read a file, not help 
you interact with software at all, and two even, there is no control over 
the speech, the amount of punctuation pronounced or how it is said, or 
even the ability to shut it up once it has started.  
     If you or anyone is interested in a demo copy of Ami-Talk I can be 
contacted at:
