She's never used a touch screen of any type, and just gives up. It doesn't help that the behavior is different if you have the voiceview feature enabled (you have to touch the right control to put focus on it, then double tap to activate.) She retired when her sight was going, but also to avoid needing to go through yet another computer change in her library, and never really had good computer skills.

I'm trying to find a way to make a text-to-speech implementation work the way her current books from either library work now. I put one book per flash drive on the chips and she can manipulate them into the digital player (from the Library for the Blind). Since that reads mp3 files ok, I looked for a program that would output to mp3. I was just seeing if anyone else here had used it.
