This, for many, isn't a solution. A deaf person, for example, needs to know this information as well. In addition, there are many for whom using speech concurrent with braille just isn't an option. Some people don't have eitehr a sound card or an external synthesizer. Others do have a sound card, but it's already being used for something else (like listening to music). Others have a sound card which could be used, but who still must maintain a silent environment because it's night time, because it'd bother their colleagues and/or customers, etc. Others work within noisy environments and couldn't possibly adequately hear speech output. Others may become needlessly confused when having to process more than one audio source at the same time, i.e. window navigation data from the computer and a customer's questions on the phone. To summarize: I think it's a mistake to design Gnopernicus such that speech output is a necessity. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
