I took that test via the AFB website. The speech synthesizer being
evaluated doesn't hold a candle to JAWS. But it's a study well worth
participating in.

Subject: [real-eyes] Blindness and Synthesized Speech Research Project

This came across another list and seems like an interesting opportunity:

As a result of our "Creating a Workforce Based on Ability" conference we
have formed a relationship with AT&T's research team. The team will be
running a web-based experiment to evaluate the intelligibility of
synthesized speech. They are targeting participants who have been blind
from 6 years of age and under. Can you please pass this on to everyone
in your networks that are potential candidates to participate in this
study? This is a great opportunity to partner with corporate industry
and help them build products for our target market.

Please see the following link for more information:
