Hi Shriphani, I'm aware about emacspeak, but emacs might be part of my coding environment later down the road as it requires a lot of configuring just to get the speech going when i can run emacs on my mac os terminal and pretty much get the same result with the os's default voices.
If there is a 64-bit GUI version of emacs though, i'm all for giving it a try.
