I would like to know if there is any software which could play the sound from an ascii file.
One of my friends is a blind person and this kind of software would be of great use to him.
Thnaks in advance.

Depends on what computer you use. The Amiga has this ability built in its
OS from day 1. As far as I hear you can do similar things with modern
Macs and NeXTs with their DSP as well, but I don't know these personally.

I remember that there was software in the public domain that took english
text and from a set of rules output phonomes to have a speach synthesizer
talk. This was about 7 years ago when I had an S-100 (Pre IBM-PC). The
other aspect of this software that I remember is that I think was developed
by the U.S. Navy (but the last might be wrong). Does this ring any bells
for any one to help this guy (?) out.
