Awsome thanks for the help the kindle thing is a great step-I'm playing around with NVDA nvda project <http://www.nvda-project.org/> for reading e-mail in gmail- and found two tools make reading my email pleasent again: "free natural reader"-and balaboka--those are free though I forget where I found them. There's some promising looking ones I found through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screen_readers "clickhear" and "readhear" i'll try out next. I found I was actually able to start understanding some adobe stuff using the kindle voice-to-text with some kindle books I got.
