Hi Michael,

 

Yes, I got my start in windows 3.1 with slimware window bridge.

 

Synthavoice used to have a product called slimware for dos I believe which became slimware window bridge.

At that time there was also the Slimware Windows Bridge for windows and it wasn’t bad especially with windows 3.1

I think the first screen reader for windows was, outspoken, by Berkeley in 1988 or 1989.
