I need a little help.  My girlfriend, who is blind, uses an IBM with Vocal-Eyes
and a Sounding Board for her computer needs.  I use a very similar IBM but
without either the speech software or the board, since I am sighted.

I'm currently in the market for a new sound board. My old Adlib has gone the
way of the dodo and I'm looking for something a bit more advanced.  I'm
currently looking at some of the 16-bit sound cards available that are
supposedly both Soundblaster and Adlib compatible.

My problem:  Some of these sound cards advertise that they are capable of
speech.  It would be a big help if I could buy a sound card that could run
a program like Vocal-Eyes, since then my girlfriend would have no problems
using my computer.

Does anybody know whether there are any plans to make Vocal-Eyes, or one
of the other major speech programs, compatible with some of these more
common sound boards?
