This article was very specific in what it covered: emacspeak (using Flite). Thanks for mentioning many of the other options out there for general computer use. It would be nice if a company, like Apple, would recognise that providing natural-sounding voices for blind users would be a substantial contribution to society, and to open source computing, rather than treating it as a great way to generate profit off of the state of someone's optic nerves. I guess the idea of a "social enterprise" only goes so far.
I think the next article is due out on Monday.
