This should be a snap, really, to provide support for the blind to ALL
existing telnet text-based muds. I don't know what the state of text-to-
speech and voice recognition software is on *nix systems, but IBM has
released some excellent advanced software in this area which will run on
OS/2, MAC and Windows platforms. I would postulate that one could
provide support solely through a new generic voice Telnet client. I'd
even bet that some IRC voice clients are currently out there.
Anyway, it seems like a good idea.
