There are three disks, a complete school course in algebra and geometry. Sending too much soap.

My father once did this. There were tutorials in mathematics and Russian
language. I think there was even a dictation using a speech synthesizer. you can
try searching.

Hello.
I am addressing you and All - maybe someone can help.
I received a letter from Andrey Stegnitsky, a musician from the group
Iron Falcons (Lvov). You can answer in the echo - I will forward it.

---------------------------------------

...Now I will write a few words about myself. I am a musician and programmer. The fact is that I
have some problems with vision, that is, I can’t see at all. A program that helps me read texts on Spectrum is speech synthesis in is_dos. The program is lousy, but
still better lousy than nothing.
After all, you always
want to read something interesting. I'm sending you a couple of versions of my
program. There are new versions and one
old one. The new versions are not very
importantly completed. The old version does not understand the numbers, and the new ones at least understand the numbers, but they don’t work very well, that is, they freeze. In new
versions, rewinding has been done both forward and backward. But I don't like their work, because they often freeze. Arsen, I know that you have access to online on the Internet. If you can, then send this program across web pages and write a proposal, maybe someone will agree to complete it to perfection. Or if possible, then announce a competition for the best speech synthesis. I would like them to make it work properly, so that the rewinds work correctly, so that there is such aa function
that allows you to report where you are when you stop
and when you start next time, so that you can continue
from where you left off. I'll write to you how
to run the versions of speech synthesis that I
send you. First you run it under IS_DOS, and then you make the extension com, after which you move the cursor to the text, and
then call it from the command line monitor, or you can put it on some hot key in the extkey.txt file. You need to launch it without any parameters, because there are none there. While reading, the following keys work in new versions: 1: fast forward one sector, 2: fast forward one sector, 3: remember the location, but this is not written down anywhere, and cannot be restored at the next boot. I wrote to you that I want such a function to be made, but so that it can be implemented at the next boot.
4: return to the place where I remembered.
Arsen, write if you have any talking
programs on ibm under windows. I read somewhere that there are such, but I don’t know where to get them.
The fact is that I need a program
that would work not only with text,
and also report what appears on the screen.
This is necessary so that I can pick up the mail myself, and then when I come to this
company where I was allowedto use ibm, you always have to
ask someone to pick it up and send it to me.
If you have a talking program,
the kind I wrote about, then send it to me.
With that, I’ll say goodbye. See you soon.
Sincerely, musician-programmer
ANDREW.

there is such a program as WinSpeech. the CSS person uses it to read
newsgroups, mail etc. Also, one of my friends (a Unix fan) has
some kind of device that tells him everything that appears on the screen, but this
hardware + needs all sorts of drivers :(

It’s very worth it. Everything will go to work - in the K. school class on the basis ZX.SPECTRUM.
