It seems very good. I have no use for it, however. But I would like to play with SpeakIt. . .and I don't want to spend $60 (or $35) for all those tools. I think what Byteworks may want to do is make SpeakIt freeware, but only the executable, not the source. Then people can play with it, and if they are interested in buying Talking Tools, they can use SpeakIt to test the quality of output. This is just an idea, what does everyone else think? Do you think we should ask them so we can try it out? -- The Ravings of the Insane Maniac Sameer Parekh -- zane@ddsw1.MCS.COM
