    Hi all,

    We have some disabled students at our university who need special treatment concerning reading. I would like anyone who knows anything about it to tell me if there is any greek-roman alphabet converter available, so that a blind person could use a reading software to listen and understand an ancient Greek texts. It would as well be useful a screen reader (software) that reads ancient Greek. Is there anything like that? The problem is that the windows font Athenian does not appear as transliterated roman text when converted to Times New Roman, for example. Thus, we have to re-tyme all Greek text so that it can be either printed or read for the blind.

    We'd really appreciate any help. Since many of you work with corpus-based applications which deal with non-roman alphabets, I thought that maybe some of you would have useful information.

    Thanks in advance,
