Subject: [real-eyes] free screen reader
Here's some info about a really good and open source screen reader. It has
both a talking install and a mobile version that can be run from a USB flash
drive. I keep it around on a USB drive, one just to play with and to keep
around should I simply just need it on my own or another computer.

One tip to anyone who uses this. The default speech synthesizer is horrible.
In the menus you can easily switch to a different synthesizer that is much
easier to understand.
