Dear sol, alan and gabriel I will try what you (alan and gabriel) have suggested.
To sol: Yes, I am talking about the text-to-speech conversion function (in simpletest). I'm using mac. Until now I have only managed to listen to fred and company, but I'd also like to record them (or save them as sound format of any kind). So that one could send them around, use them as samples or whatever...

There are programs that can grab and record anything that goes over the soundcard. (for instance internet streams etc.) This could maybe work with text-to-speech too. You have to look at www.versiontracker.com for it. I have not tested any of them... All the best Gabriel -- Georg Birkner Dipl. Arch.
