changing bios settings, without eyes, how?

[Ryan Mann]

Has anybody thought of creating a device that would hook up to a
computer's monitor port and speak whatever a sighted person would see on
the screen?  A monitor connects to an AGP port and gets information.
It seems like it would be possible to create another device that connects
to the AGP port and gets the same information, except this device would
speak the information instead of showing it on the screen.  The device
would probably need to be a computer itself so it can be programmed to
pronounce words correctly.
