Hi,

I'm the moderator of the misc.handicap newsgroup and the Handicap Digest
mailing list. These are both gatewayed into the ABLED and Blinktalk
Fidonet conferences.  I do not know of such a program but am taking the
liberty of posting your request in the newsgroup and mailing list.

(I do have a banking program, an address program, a contact management
system as well as other programs such as file listers that are
compatible with speech synthesizers. .  If you need anything like
this, please let me know.)

If you or your friend get any answers please let me know for future reference.

				Good luck,
				Bill McGarry
