I thought that this was as simple as using Audio MIDI Setup to feed the speaker output into the mic input, but unfortunately you do need a MIDI mixer in the middle which is probably impractical :-( The software option is to use WireTap Anywhere: http://atmac.org/voip-phone-calls-for-aac-users/ but unless you already own this it is probably cheaper to go with your Phlink option. If you want to go the whole hog and set up a VoIP server such as Asterik, there are Add Ons that handle Text-to-Speech: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+swift Probably all too complex when compared to some of these services: http://www1.sprintpcs.com/explore/ueContent.jsp?scTopic=txt2landline http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/081308-landlines.html?fsrc=rss-wireless And because Sarah, you're in Oz, you can use smsPup: http://smspup.com/smsServices.php?serviceIdentity=textToSpeech Which only leaves sending SMS from Rev, which again can be done with AppleScript: http://www.smsmac.com/help/discover/applescript/ So back to Richard's original problem, if the 'client' isn't at his computer then he probably isn't at his phone (which is next to the computer) either. If he has a mobile phone then using AppleScript to SMS is probably a cheaper option and provides the added benefit of a 'hard copy'. I can't imagine anything worse than trying to scramble for pen and paper whilst receiving a voice message saying, "We have recived your order for part No: AXZS-564332, part No AXXD-02594023,...";-( Having an SMS that I can cross-check when I get back to my computer seems like a nice alternative.
