Hello Pablo,

I see, ES == EspaƱol, you are Spanish? hope I am not wrong.... :))

What! I'm shocking, or even scared, the ROBOT does all the job for it! But I
thought that these bots must be programmed well by man, and that comforted
me a little. :))

----->People have a quite widespread theory that computers(robots) would
take over the world one day, is it for real? ...nobody knows until that day
arrives.  Huh. I already have a picture in mind of what that will look like:
to abandon our flesh and translate our persnal life into electronic form
when that moment dawned. That's great. And I have something to say to the
people who have the chance to live in that era: Enjoy the everlasting life,
you immortal! <-----Myself wonder where this comes out...not so sure,
...random imagination?...crazy...hehe....

For sound files, I find there is a file named sounds_free.bin in the
installation folder, its size is less than 12MB though. It seems that,
really as you said, it has slimmed down much in new free version.
considering the page you given, the pro edition have the ability to
pronounce 70,000 audio recordings, the free one like what I got has the
limited power to pronounce only 5000 items. How come? I am pretty sure: Now
the team of WordWeb want payments from this newly updated after letting
users taste the old vesion.

Take Care,

Rui
