And you could use it as your speech synth if you had a PC with whatever program you had. A big ole external speech synth that is. Lino Morales Remember, friends don't let friends go to hell.

Reading Edge was a dedicated Text-To-Speech reading system that was essentially a PC configured with a scanning component, an OCR component and a TTS component. By "dedicated" I mean there was nothing you could do with this system other than scan documentation. The advantage to such a system is that the processor need only handle the bare essentials of resource management and process handling. You could get away with a smaller, less efficient CPU and supposedly have satisfactory throughput for reading documents. Apparently though, it wasn't quite "satisfactory" enough because it has apparently disappeared from the market. ---*---*---*---*---*---*--- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: [email protected] - Anonymous (from my source of goofy stuff) - Eggs and Bacon for Breakfast - An entire day commitment for a chicken. - A Lifetime Commitment for a Pig For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
