Hi;

I know that a few people were recently discussing the lack of a full
service screen reader for the mac and I have a related question.  I'm
looking for a Mac based text reader that can read in email programs and in
word processing programs for a sighted user with a reading
disability.  However, the only programs I have been able to locate require
the user to paste text into the reading program itself (such as CAST
E-Reader and Type and Talk).  Unfortunately, any documents she has
formatted lose their formatting when she imports a text file into the text
reader program.  Does anyone know of any text readers that work in standard
programs (Eudora, Microsoft Word)?

Thanks,
Kathy
