> As an aide to the nearly blind, I would like to design and build a Plan9
or Inferno based system that presents text one word at a time in the center
of the screen in a font perhaps 25mm high. The progress of the text would be
controlled by keyboard entries in the style of vi.

25mm == ~72 point. i'd check out T9 input, which i _think_ uses bi-gram
frequencies.
