Dave,
  Well, I happen to know of a program called 'Vocal-Eyes'.  I don't know
much about it but I believe it will work with your artic board. (grin)

All kidding aside Dave -- Vocal-Eyes will work very well with the Artic
board.  Actually, many screen readers will work with it.  If you would
like a demonstration copy of Vocal-Eyes to try, just leave me a message
with the disk size and address.  I would be glad to send you one.  The
entire manual will be included on disk.

I forgot to mention you will need the SONIX and TTS moduals from Artic.
Some of the older boards came with these programs but you have to purchase
them from Artic for the newer boards.  I believe the cost is around $50.00.

Regards,
  Doug
