Hi Charudatta Jadhav, GNUChess (and many others) use the xboard protocol for communicting with the GUI , so if you want , you can write a mediator which intercepts these commands to and from the engine and parse/use it for your needs. The specification which defines the input/output is available here : http://www.tim-mann.org/xboard/engine-intf.html
I think some of the commercial programs have speech capability. Also , I recently heard that crafty has added speech support , which basically works by invoking a script which read out the moves to the user - last I heard , this was restricted to the linux platform , maybe you can use this , or modify/adapt that script to accomplish what you want. I am not sure if there are any api's as such available for the prupose of reading out the moves ... Hope this helps, Regards Mridul On 6/10/05, Charudatta Jadhav <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Sir, > I am a blind person and a software programmer.
