Hello Curry I'll be following this with great interest. Many of my intended users have vision, speech and motor deficits. I D/L'd a TTS program for my Windows machine a couple months ago (cost $$ and has only one voice...you can get more for more $$...stuff that has come with Mac OS' for a long time), but I haven't a clue how to get it to work with a Rev-built app. One of the goals is for a speech deficited user to be able to hold a synthesized voice phone conversation from an onscreen keyboard. Like you mentioned, it's really not much problem with a Mac, but Windows is a real challenge.
