Comment

Leopard's voice output looks interesting:

Coming from a Windows world where effective text to speech and "screen reader" software are very expensive extras; Leopard's standard in-built voice output sounded interesting.

Naturally, it depends very much on the detail of the implementation.

If Leopard really works that well, it may become the standard for people with poor eye-sight.

Mac + standard Leopard may be more affordable than WinXP PC + expensive, troublesome, non-standard "screen reader."
