Echo II emulation for blind users like me #33

Open jscuster opened 5 years ago

Hello. aI am a blind person, I use TalkBack, screen reading software baked in to Android. The app is very accessible, but it would help a lot if you could add Echo II emulation to the app, I would be able to run talking software image and use the computer, just like I used to as a kid. I'd be happy to kick in a few bucks if that would help.

Mame emulates this card, so much of the work has already been done. There is an accessible Windows/Mac emulator based on Mess, this is in tern based on Mame. It's at http://www.bluegrasspals.com/messapple/. I'll attach a disk image that includes the software that makes the Echo II speak. You'll know it works if the echo speaks the keys you type and reads output.

Sorry for this long issue text, but it would really help! DOSTALK.zip
