Hi Jim,
First of all, I am not a SK yet!
As to a talking weather station, I am using the Oregon Scientific model 
WMR968.
I am not sure that it is still available, however.
For software, I am using a free program called:"FreeWX-Wi".
You can do a search for it on the internet easily.
It also allows me to have my weather on the website called:

www.weatherunderground.com

Get on that site and search for zip of 45331.
It will come up with my station saying:

North of side of Greenville, OH.

That is my station on 24-7.
I have been using this set up for about 5 years.
I am using Window-eyes for my screen reader.
If you have more questions, just email me.
Best 73.
