This program would need a screen reader or at least some way to
identify the letter in the location to be typed. I'm not sure if a
script can be written to do this.

Subject: Re: Typing tutorial for the blind that works on the mac
I recently found a nice typing tutor that is available for
windows. I'm using it with my kids that have significant vision
issues but are still print readers. It's called Stamina, it's
real simple has fun sounds when mistakes happen and even has
options for using a Dvorak keyboard. Oh yeah, and its freeware.

You are looking for a real tutorial correct? You mean, besides
the VO
keyboard practice, Control-Option-K?
Maybe someone could develop such a thing, assuming Mavis Beacon and
the like are not accessible. Is the source code available for any
similar Unix / DOS / Windows typing tutorial for the blind? Failing
that, can anyone recommend a Unix / DOS / Windows typing tutorial
which functionality should be replicated for the Mac?
