I just got a query from someone about whether there exist any assistive technologies for Old English--she especially mentioned screen readers. I've never looked into this: I have no idea whether such technologies exist, or if they don't, what it would take to make a screen reader read Old English.
Does anyone here have any knowledge or experience of this kind, suggestions for this person, or advice about possibly creating a tool for reading Old English aloud?
Thanks,
