I'm blind in only one eye and have low vision in the other, so I run Plan 9 in a virtual machine with an enlarged screen using Mac OS X's Universal Access.
The concept of a Text-to-Speech program for Plan 9 has been floating in my head for some time. How can it be made to use some of Plan 9's features (/dev/*ctl, /srv, text-based commands, etc.)? I was thinking either something like
echo say (voice) (ipa-pronounciation) > /dev/speech
echo sayword (voice) (word) > /dev/speech
then use such a device to build a screen reader.

That's in the PDF. In fact, it's on the GNU Humor page now, too. I wonder how vi is related anymore, though.
