I remember our creative writing/English3 teacher at FSDB had some program of some sort on the mac she used that was audible but didn't seem to be a full-fledged sceen reader, unless she didn't use it as one, sense that computer was pretty much for her use only, but it would ask the usual "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" and if you wanted to, you could click on stuff from the internet and have the program read it, but not sure what it did aside from that, so have no idea what the program was called. I remember it having all those wild robotic-sounding voices that voiceover stilll comes with, that would be fun to use as sound affects, but would never use as reading voices.
