-> The spelling tutor program sounds really neat.  I wonder if they make 
-> those for  the commodore or the IBM compat. computers?
 
Do you have a Commodore 64 computer?  There is a Program called SAM
(software assisted mouth).  It is in the pd now, and allows the
Commodore 64 to talk.  There are many programs available in the public
doman that can use SAM.  You could also write your own programs.  I have 
a program that works with it that teaches children the alphabet.  It
loads a picture of an pple, and says "A makes the AA sound in apple."
then loads in another pic and goes on.  I don't havethe picture files
though.  All you have to do is load up SAM, and then put a line like.
 
10 SAY "Hello, my name is Sam"
 
When you run the program, it will say it.  Very simple, and it works
pretty good.  There is also a program that comes with it called "SAY" 
that lets you type in any words, or sentence and says it for you.
