I'm not sure if this is what you mean. But Inspiration is a graphic
organizer software, that helps a student brainstorm ideas into a web and
with a click puts the web in outline format. From there with another
click
it hyperlinks the outline into MS Word or Appleworks (MACs) or you can
export the outline form into a PP document with every main heading
becoming
a separate slide. It has both a screen reader and a text reader. Go to
http://inspiration.com/ to download a 30 day demo. The program is about 60
dollars. It is the best money I ever spent for writing and organizing
ideas. Try that.
Best Wishes, Peg B
