Thanks. I'll check that out.

Has the text to speech daemon been ported yet? The difficulty is that I
wouldn't be able to operate the interactive (graphical) environment using
either braille or speech, so what I really need is access from the shell.

Debian Sid, with reasonably regular upgrades.

By way of background, I know C from having read K&R some years ago, but not
Objective-C. I don't have any background in complex analysis or digital signal
processing, but would like to study more mathematics at some point in the
future just for fun. Currently I am writing a Ph.D. thesis in contemporary
philosophy of language (i.e., foundational issues in analytic semantics). I
studied some phonetics as an undergraduate back in the early 90s, which may
help in these discussions, depending on how much I can remember.
