It does has some decent text-to-speech capacities. The built-in magnification is quite decent IMHO, as are the other "universal access" features. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/ > And the next release is supposed to include a much improved one. Yes, the next release of OS X, due before the end of the year, will have an integrated screen reader. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/ http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/voiceover.html
