A typewriter fitted with speech? Come again? I just knew about regular
typewriters, and electric typwriters, and those electronic ones that had
word processors in them, but I never heard of them with speech. Pam.

Hi,
My first introduction into the World of screen readers and computers was
with an Apple 2E and Braille Edit back in 1984. The speech syn was an
Echo from Streets Electronics. By today's standards, it was primitive
but was a vast improvement on what went before. i.e. Just a typewriter
and if you were loaded, a typewriter fitted with speech.
Don't know what happened to Dave Holliday, the author of Braille Edit,
and Raised Dot Computing. Does anyone know?
After that I switched to an IBM type machine in the late '80's and used
Artic Vision which eventually went to the wall.
Cheers
Neville.
