Pushing the discussion on the Ensoniq off in another direction, one of our
club members is visually handicapped.  He presently uses an Apple ][ gs with
an add-in speech synthesizer and modem software that allows the use of same.

We've both wondered why, with all the capability that the Ensoniq has, no one
has come out with software that uses the Ensoniq to verbalize the screen.  The
voice that I've heard the Ensoniq do in demos is absolutely life-like. The
hardware synthesizer sounds like a 1970's movie of computer voice.

Does anyone know of software to do what I have mentioned?  We are not
interested in educational software that uses the Ensoniq (several responses on
other systems have offered same.)
