One Ebay seller specializes in items for the blind, some of which use electronic speech. These could be useful for hacking into various projects. He has a variety of talking watches and thermometers. Here's a pedometer/clock that announces the number of steps: http://cgi.ebay.com/Talking-Pedometer-Alarm-Clock-Blind-w-Braille-/200512363200?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eaf77dac0 That's basically a switch and a counter, so you could have it count and announce most anything. And here's a talking calculator: http://cgi.ebay.com/Talking-Pocket-Calculator-Blind-w-Braille-Ins-/190468860505?pt=Calculators&hash=item2c58d42a59

You might find something useful for yourself, or maybe you'll come up with an idea for the next new product for the blind. It's a win-win!
