Also speech synthesis hardware that is dictionary based (with a > female voice preferably) that could be run through a PA system. I haven't tried it the way you suggest but PowerMac's come with hardware and software for speaker independent speech recognition and synthesis, standard equipment. Includes a number of choices, male, female, and synthetic, for speech output. New PowerMacs clones (fire sales) are down as low as $1k. Some sell bare-bones no memory no HD boxes for $500. Most "bare" systems still include video hardware, SCSI, and ethernet as they are all built into the MB. Some also offer EIDE interfaces and support for PS/2 mouse and keyboards. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
