Within two years, both the required algorithmic competence and the necessary integrated circuit technology will have been developed to a point where practical personal reading machines for the blind will be possible. In this paper, the linguistic and phonetic principles needed to convert optically recognized text to speech are discussed, and it is shown how they mirror the human cognitive ability to read aloud. A perspective on the current status and rate of progress of large scale integration technology is then used to show that economical implementations of even complex text-to-speech algorithms can be realized in the short-term future. Finally, a view of important human factors problems requiring attention is given.
