Keyano is a graphical front end for popular Unix applications such as play, aplay, festival, and fortune. It has the ability to turn your PC into a audio/visual sampler that works similar to samplers now in use by DJs. It also includes vocal dictionary and text reader capabilities, as well as a spelling Tutorial and an early version of a chatter bot (in alphabet mode you can: type "A B C" and it says them out loud while it shows letters on screen).
