hello 

i am a blind person with RP. i'd like  to know if there are people out
there who are using computers with speech synthesizers that would read
screens. i am also interested in scanners that would scan text and
produce ascii and/or read the text. 

suggestions, pointers, or hints are appreciated. 

thanks
 
-Ramzi

[Note from Bill Bill McGarry: Okay, you blinktalkers out there,
 where do you start with this?]
