...If you want to do this under control of a high-level language, your best
...bet is the kit HV-2000 ($89.95) from Heath-Zenith.  You can also just
...dump text to the HV-2000 and it will pronounce it.  The HV-2000 is said

Another product you might look into is Speech Thing by COVOX
it also does voice recognition. price ~$70.  You can find
ads in the back of most pc mag's.
