Oh, and next time i see the speech therapist, i'll lug my hugmongous thinkpad and demo what i've done with my scripts and flite.... 8 kilobux for a Doze speech dev my butt. with berkeley unix and open source tools, you can have it for a few hundred bux. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org For FBSD list: http://transfinite.thought.org/slicejourney.php The 4.98a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
