Hi!  I have a lot of hardware experience with the innards of the 
IBM compatible world, but I've run into an area that I know little
about: Setting up systems for visually impaired people.

>From what I glean from the mountain of docs I've been given, there are 
these key areas:  Computer, scanner, voice synthesizer, and OCR package.
Anyone out there have any experience with these?  I'm looking for the best
bang for the buck, so reviews would be nice.

thanks for any help!!!
