Many Pali texts exist in electronic form. The entire Pali canon, Thai
version, has been available for a number of years from Mahidol University,
for app. $4,000 US. Recently the PTS canon has been input with a combination
of Dhammakaya Foundation and UC-Berkeley, and mostly awaits various
massaging, and no doubt intense copyright, distribution, etc. discussions.
Many individuals have input texts as well (I used to have a number of
Dhammapada on disk). Perhaps those who have input texts could let us all
know?

I recall reading a newspaper article last year about a company in
Newton, Massachusetts, called "Dragon Software" which got fine reviews
on its scanning & voice-reproduction quality. I also recall that
it was somewhat expensive for individual users, in the neighborhood
of $15,000.

I have recently communicated with Wilhelm Ott at zrszot1@cpx.sdv.
uni-tuebingen.de. The last I heard of COMPress, they were operating
in New Hampshire. A query to directory service in the 603 area
should locate them if they are still there.
