Hi I wonder if just by listening to keynote and infovox230 speech if ESpeak could be modified kind of by ear so to speak? there has to be some way to get keynote working with linux and windows7. besides if apple and linux have their way apple plus linux plus netbooks will make braillenotes outdated things within the next decade.
